Challenge: Day 6 - Things that make me happy

Today's challenge subject is a fun one — 6.  Pictures of things that make you happy—Are you ready for this? Cuz I am!

• This quote that I heard yesterday:

"Behind each successful design are several not so good ones. The moment when everything works is why I keep doing it."

 ...it's so true.

• Getting a pedicure with a friend; the whole process. It's just awesome and soothing and relaxing, and you leave with pretty toes!
  
  
• Silly warning messages that pop up on the computer, like the one I got yesterday:
  

• Retail therapy
  
  

• Colors

I REALLY want to do this to my nails. (Don't worry, I won't).

 

• A great workout

• Sleeping in
  
  
• Good hair days
  
  
• Warm, sunny days (especially at the beach)
  
  
• Walking through the flower section at Lowe's (which I pretty much do at least once every weekend in the Spring/Summer)
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Someone scratching my back and/or massaging my shoulders

• Receiving mail that isn't a bill or junk mail (usually from my mom)

• Hugs! One thing I really miss about being in a relationship is getting a hug every day. Going home and getting all kinds of hugs from my parents and family is very therapeutic.

• Hitting only green lights on my way home from work

• The thought of someday becoming Auntie Em!

•  Hearing a great song on the radio or a great movie on TV. Even if you own the song or movie, it's so much more awesome when it comes on spontaneously

• Laughing so hard my cheeks hurt

•  Sitting at a stoplight and realizing the person in the car next to me is listening to the same song

• Falling asleep outside on a warm, sunny day

• Waking up from a bad dream and realizing it's not true
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
    

• Baking cookies...the smell, the taste, the ones warm right out of the oven, when they turn out perfectly delicious and fluffy
  

• Getting the TV remote at the gym

• A blanket warm from the dryer

• The smell of dryer sheets (especially the lavender ones :) and sunscreen

•  Receiving a random hilarious or 'good news' text or phone call

• Someone else spontaneously having set up the coffee or cleaned any portion of the house

• A great day spent with family and/or friends

• One of my designs being chosen

• Receiving something that I designed from the printer

....obviously there are about a million others, but I've officially spent way too much time on this post, so I'll leave it at that.

AND I just realized these were supposed to all be pictures. I'm just breaking the rules left and right! Three lashings with a wet noodle for me. It's alright, I can take it. I'll just have to follow this up at some point with an only pictures post. Stay tuned.




What kinds of things make you happiest?
