Ten Things That Made Me Happy on Sunday

happy sunday happy sunday happy sunday happy sunday

Yesterday, Kelsey met us at church for Mass.  When she sat down in the pew next to me, I leaned over and whispered to her, “this makes me ridiculously happy.”  And in that happy moment, I decided that I would keep a mental list of things that made me happy yesterday.

  1. My sweet boy Riley has been having some health issues which has caused him to develop glaucoma in his left eye.  Sunday morning when I got up to let him out, I was happy to see that the swelling and inflammation was noticeable better.
  2. Being able to button a pair of pants that two months ago were too tight.
  3. Sitting together with my family at Mass.
  4. Post-church brunch at SMOKE with a carafe of Mimosas for the win.
  5. Spending time at Kelsey’s apartment and helping her hang pictures.
  6. Deleting over 1,000 old emails from my inbox.
  7. Wearing pajama bottoms all afternoon.
  8. A glass of good red wine.
  9. A clean kitchen.
  10. Empty laundry hampers and and clean clothes put away.

Yep…as usual it doesn’t take a lot to make me happy.  Which I think is a good thing.  Hope you found some happiness in your weekend too!

Love, Kelly

    I like that list a lot, Kelly. And the lovely photos that show me all the blessings you see and how your lens setting is always on G for gratitude. You sweet woman, I am glad to come here.
