Then the gyn lately
slushies (my favorite yummy)
Naps
This is such a HAPPY week! 😀

What an awesome giveaway! What makes me happy… my daughter, my husband, extra sleep, good coffee.
As far as what makes me HAPPY/JUMP FOR JOY that is an easy one…playing at the park with my husband and our daughters. It is so nice to have that time away from the television, the cellphones, the laptops, the distractions of life and just be present (and a kid again) with them. The swings, the slides, the running and hiding – it ALL makes me happy.
A really good latte from Starbucks makes me pretty happy too, but that’s well below playing at the park on my list…if it’s past 10:00 in the morning! LOL
I get really happy and smile when…
– I come home to fresh flowers in a vase on my table
– I run more than I thought I could
– My 9 year old niece makes me a special drawing and gives it to me bursting with pride
Things that make me happy….
coming home to find that my husband put some of the toys away and didn’t just step over them. . . my 3 yr old little boy, dancing around and using the flashlight as a mic. . . fresh fruit and veggies from the farmers market my hubby works at. . . my church. . texas country music. . . finding new websites about eating right and actually putting it into practice. . .
I have just recently begun my own eating and wellness journey after smoking and overeating for years. I quit smoking, I have begun eating whole foods and just recently running! Nothing compares to the strength and power that I feel in my body and in my lungs when I’m outside, sun beating down, breeze blowing through my hair and I’m running (floating 🙂 ) above the pavement… something I never dreamed possible.

It makes me extremely happy to spread smiles and joy to others. I also find I am happiest when I don’t take life too seriously and take time to appreciate my surroundings every day.
Kindness in all forms – makes me happy – especially when it’s done straight from the heart. Recent acts of kindness I’ve seen:
an older couple helping each other through the farmer’s market – and having a blast doing it
a friend buying me the shelter dog and cats postage stamps because she knows I love them
a person paying a meter for a car – not their car – and walking on
the grocery clerk giving me the banana I was buying when I realized I’d left my cash at home
it happens every day – if you just watch for it – and pass it on
Frozen yogurts make me happy and jump for joy!!!
Things that make me happy? My grandson wiggling with glee when he sees me; my husband coming home from a long trip; my students getting great jobs; reading a good book (without interruptions); trying a new recipe and having it become a family favorite.
Being a “normal” weight makes me jump for joy. For the majority of my life I was super morbidly obese. I’ve lost 200 pounds and simply living life as a normal person is more than I could have ever dreamed.

-being content in the moment, even if everything isn’t going my way
-starting my day with a mug of my favorite coffee, lots of water, and my favorite bible at my cute little hand-me-down kitchen table
-scrapping my to do list in the name of spending quality time with people
Okay, my happy list:
– Spending time with my family (I go to school a couple of hours away from home so any chance to see them always makes me really excited)
– Creating things, I love sewing as well as making my own accessories
– Bonfires! There’s nothing like spending time with good friends, having a few drinks, usually making some music and talking till the wee hours of the morning around a cozy fire.
– Checking something off up my to-do list. I admit it, I’m neurotic.
– A hot cup of tea. Seriously, I’m addicted.
– Finding THE perfect thing at a thrift store or garage sale.
– My boyfriend. He is endlessly supportive and makes me feel so loved.
– Lazy mornings where you can stay in bed cuddling
– Babies, especially my cousin Nathan.
– All animals
– Green Monsters! again, I’m addicted
– Health food stores, I find something so calming yet exciting.
– The smell of flowers (especially lilacs and lily of the valley) and freshly cut grass
Wow, making this list made me pretty happy too! 🙂
-Hearing the birds chirp at 4:30am
-when my husband laughs at a stupid movie
-when I’ve been able to help someone

Things that make me happy – a well-written book, people-watching, sunshine, being surrounded by people I love
I love when my kids laugh and play nicely. When I do something nice for someone and see the smile on their face (especially if they don’t know its me), when my husband holds my hand in the car, when I cross the finish line of whatever goal Ive set for myself.
THE BEACH/SUN!
Seeing other’s happy.
Love.
Knowing that my change to a vegan lifestyle has encouraged the people around me to think about their eating habits and incorporate more veggies/whole foods into their diet!

It makes me so happy when I hear my students say things like, “I can read it now Ms. Landy.” or “I wish you could be my mom.” or “I want you to be my teacher forever.” Just imagine how they try to write pennies the first time on their whiteboard… 🙂
