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

love always, caitlin
