GTKY: The little things in life.

BornReady · December 2015

A friend of mine journals the 10 little things that give her happiness and pleasure during the day. I have been trying to do it to keep my self sane and grateful. I thought some of you ladies might like the exercise, so feel free to join in!

clean sheets

clothes just out of the dryer

the house smelling like cookies baking

smell of sunblock

getting a card from a friend in the old-fashioned mail

new pens

hot tea on a cold morning

my dog sitting with me on the couch

an inside joke text from DH

clean kitchen before bed

I had a rough week at work, so this is quite well timed. This is merged from today and yesterday because it's only 8am.

Spending time with a good friend

Yoga classes and having the time to get to them

Listening to music while walking to work

People who value my opinion at work

Pictures of my nieces

Enjoying a coffee

Waking up a few minutes early and realizing you still get to sleep for longer

DH making dinner AND doing dishes because I had a long day

Having something to look forward to (vacation!)

The way I feel after a good night's sleep

I like this! It's still early morning here so mine is split between two days too.

1. A hot shower
2. Plumeria body wash from bath and body works (my favorite smell they discontinued years ago but they recently brought back!)
3. Listening to the stuff you should know podcast
4. My manicure from Sunday still looks pretty good today
5. Watching Impractical jokers with DH and just about dying from laughing
6. Last night's delicious dinner
7. Finding Christmas presents for my nephews
8. Complimentary room service breakfast this morning
9. Getting to spend the day exploring a new city
10. Seeing DH's hard work pay off (he is a 4th year medical student interviewing for residency positions

I'm also seeing this early morning. Here are mine from yesterday!

- Snuggles with my dog
- Successful acupuncture
- Pole fitness classes and seeing the difference in my muscles
- Christmas/ Yule music
- Good news from my doctor
- Dinner with my husband
- Downtime with my husband watching tv
- Winter time & warm clothes & boots that come with it!!!
- Nursing school (even if it is hard right now)
- Knowing myself better, and well enough to start getting better (due to anxiety, PTSD, weight gain)

Also, @ceclarlinetlo , my DH is a surgery resident in the army and we were there a few years ago. Matching can be a rough time and so are interview rotations! FX he gets the residency he wants!
