Wow, did this week go by fast! For 7 days now I have been starting off my day thinking/writing about what gave me happiness the day before, What Makes You Happy. Day 1 and Day 2 were easy, Day 3 a challenge, Day 4 a surprise, Day 5 was simple and Day 6 was a routine day. But Day 7? Day 7, today, I have reviewed the last 6 days.

#HappinessToday Day 6 of Happiness

Posted on Sep 16, 2014

It has been 6 days of really thinking about What Makes You Happy. Day 1 and Day 2 were a synch, Day 3 was rough, Day 4 a surprise, Day 5 a nice day and Day 6? Day 6 was Monday Funday! Routine as normal. Everything went off without a hitch. It was insanely hot for this time of year. Today my pool and our air conditioning made me very happy! I am thankful that someone invented these things to keep us cool! While sitting in the cool air,...

#HappinessToday Day 5 of Happiness

Posted on Sep 15, 2014

What Makes You Happy? I have been reflecting and writing each morning on this topic. Day 1 was a breeze, Day 2 was fun, Day 3 was a challenge, and Day 4 was a little surprise. Day 5, yesterday, was Sunday. We did something together as a family for the first time that I thought was simple yet really fun. We went for a family bike ride! First time since living in CA that ALL of our bike tires were full and both of my children came and...

Today is Day 4 of my exploration into What Makes You Happy? Day 1 was easy, Day 2 was fun, Day 3 a challenge and Day 4? Day 4 was Saturday! Hard to not be happy when the whole family is around and able to go to the beach together. In Malibu. But something unexpected did happen. A new friend of mine stopped by early and had left a belated birthday gift for me. The gift was amazing. But it was the thought that this new friend of mine...

#HappinessToday Day 2 of happiness

Posted on Sep 12, 2014

It is the second day of my What Makes You Happy? 7 day #HappinessToday project. What made me happiest yesterday was a little surprise. As I was finishing the dishes, my daughter ran in to the kitchen and grabbed my hand, pulling me outside. At first I was resistant, I wanted to get the dishes finished. But my daughter is nothing if not persistent, and she won, as usual! So I walk outside in a grouchy mood expecting some form of a mess...

Seriously Cool Pet Owner!

Posted on Sep 8, 2014

We went to our fave beach in Malibu last weekend and met one of the coolest pet owners ever! We were in the process of building our own tidal pool when we look over and sitting on a rock not 5 feet away from us was a bearded dragon! Just hangin’ out on the rock there, soaking in the sun and letting the small ocean waves sprinkle her every few minutes! Bearded dragons are not local animals you get to see every day so I was a little...
