if you read jora’s blog, then you, like myself, get nothing but good ideas and inspiration. one of her last posts was on “things that make me happy”. and i, like jora, have recently started a board on pinterest on such things- simple little moments or experiences that quiet the mind a little and bring you a little shiver of joy. without further ado, here’s my list… what’s yours?
wandering around bookstores
reading the sunday paper with coffee
walking the dog in this new gloomy cozy climate
making a roast chicken OR cooking something i’ve never made before
getting into a bed with clean sheets and freshly shaved legs
getting snailmail
making a fire in the fireplace
date night. hopefully sporting some new strappy heels ;)
thumbing through cookbooks
spending the afternoon in a bar, debating… anything
writing a letter or card
shutting off the tv and the computer and having a conversation with the Gent

oooooh, fire in the fireplace and looking at cookbooks are good ones….. i get tons of good ideas here too — thank you jessica!!
Sunday paper reading with coffee! Yes! It has been too long since having kids… :)
And you are so right about the clean sheets and shaved legs. The best.
Thank you for your sweet comment on Pinterest! I’m glad it led me to your blog–I’m really enjoying it!
aw thanks kate!
