a list of things that made me happy today

I’m in a bit of a writer’s block the past couple days.

I am feeling so many things that they are getting tangled inside of me and not coming out on paper how I want them to.

So, I’ve decided to focus on what I know for sure, which is a list of things that made me happy today.

Here goes:

bringing my partner teacher a Starbucks
rollerblading with my kids in gym class
opening the window in my bedroom this evening and hearing cars on the interstate
the sound of birds chirping
going for a walk
the sun
the weather – it was 62 degrees today
taking our kids out for extra recess
seeing the stray cat that lives behind my apartment after I haven’t for a while
driving with my window down
reading on my porch in a blanket while watching the sun set
the daisies I bought on Monday
when I finished our read aloud book and all my kids clapped
getting ice cream from Culver’s with a sweet friend
getting into my car and feeling the warmth the leather had gathered during the day (rather than cold)
a full tank of gas (from yesterday)
buying March Madness tickets to see Wisconsin play
the feeling of a warm wind
talking to my mom
doing yoga this morning
