What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?

Happiness, to me, is things that bring me a smile, or make my heart do a little flip.

1) Conversations with my granddaughter. She is 6 going on 35. I asked her if she wanted dance lessons since was always dancing. Her reply was, “I don’t need lessons, I’m already a great dancer.” That’s a heart flip for sure.

2) Driving too fast with music cranked way too loud. This also every day.

3) Countryside that takes my breath away unexpectedly. I have lived in quite a few places in the US and every single time, there was something that was so beautiful I forgot to breathe. That happens to me here in Colorado every day.

4) Spending time with family. Phone calls and FaceTime calls count too! My family is scattered hither a yon. I get to talk to some once or twice a week, others it’s every day.

5) Currently, it’s creating a recipe book for my granddaughter of all the things we have made together. Someday, she will share those recipes with her grandchildren and tell them stories of our baking and cooking adventures. (At least I hope she will)
