What will you be doing in the Smokies? I'm going this fall.

We’ll visit the NP and go to Dollywood.

Today's Topic (Tue, 3/3) - 3 things you're grateful for just because they make you happy

 

[Summer2018]

1. The beach regardless of the weather.
2. Laughter, belly laughs, the sound of others laughing, but most of all, the giggles of children.
3. Watching my daughter grow up and become a better human than my wildest dreams could have imagined.

1. The smile on my great-granddaughter's face;
2. Seeing the new day when I open my blinds at dawn, knowing that God's mercies are new each morning;
3. Dinner with my family.

Disney mugs and Tshirts. They bring a little magic to my otherwise boring and monotonous day.

Hugs from my kids, even thought they are grown adults.

Wild flowers growing along the roadside. Especially in the spring after a long winter.

Spending time with DD32. It makes me so happy that we have a wonderful friendship in addition to being so close as mother/daughter.

Wearing/using my Disney stuff. I have 3 pairs of leggings (Ursula, Maleficient, and Alice) that I wear around the house constantly, and a sweatshirt that I hang out in most nights. I usually save my Disney tees for when I travel to Disney, and DD and I have matching Pooh sweatshirts that we plan to wear together! I also have my coffee in my Disney mugs (resort specific, I've had them for a while) and love my disney jewelry (2 pairs of earrings, a ring, two watches). OH and my Disney VISA card... One has Grogu on it and the other has Maleficient! It makes me smile when people admire the cards!

Vacation planning. I have been down in the dumps for several months now, and to add to this, American Airlines has changed our flights for our trip in June. I needed to check out the new itineraries (which is usually a PITA) and was able to change to a better return schedule, so HUZZAH! I realized while I was doing this how much I love planning trips, having vacations to look forward to, and searching for the best deals to fit our budget. It really takes my mind off all the everyday stuff that is feeling burdensome right now.

Totally! - I never realized how many conversations that card would start (I have the blue one with Mickey, Donald, and Goofy.)

My 3 today:

Sunshine! - I'm like a cat when there's a sunbeam.
When the perfect song comes on the radio
Photographs - old ones, framed ones, taking new ones...

Going to go for some odd ones today...

Wildlife sightings - I guess it's all because it's simply right place at the right times. OK, not really odd but I tend to talk to the animals like I'm a Disney princess, so there's that.

Food prep consistency/appearance - Hard to describe but there are certain things I make that make me so happy when they hit that stage where you know it's going right. For example, when making marshmallow fondant, the mixture will get this glossy silky sheen and the spoon moves through a certain way. It's just such a happy and satisfying moment.

The smell of new sneakers - I love new shoes, in general, but certain brands/models of sneakers have this glorious smell during unboxing. It's probably toxic chemicals but we love the scent...maybe even more than the smell of bacon. DD17 shares a love of this one as well.

Evening all,

1. Food - I love food, I love to eat and am a bit of a foodie, and nothing makes me happier than going out to eat, trying new food or just eating something tasty that I regularly make at home. I'm almost as excited for the food on my upcoming WDW trip as I am the rides.

2. Theme Parks - not just Disney but any theme park with great theming and rides. That immersion in a themed land and the rush or sheer fun of a ride makes me so happy.

3. Walking - I go out walking every day and getting out in the fresh air (especially when it's sunny or at least dry), listening to my favourite music and just being active, makes me really happy and I get frustrated when I can't do this.

Watching my favorite TV shows even if I’ve seen it 100 times
The beach I prefer a warm sunny day but I’ll take it even if it’s not
A nice quiet day at home where I can take a nap and I don’t have to do a darn thing and I don’t have any guilt about taking a nap
A massage a nice hour and a half massage

Books and Libraries
So many memories of riding my bike to the local library and filling my bike basket with books
How easily my daughter could manipulate me into buying her new books. She knew I couldn't say no!
Doing Read-Alouds when I was a teacher.
Honorable Mention: one of the benefits of being retired is that I can read without falling asleep!

Happies
Hanging out with my DGD, especially when there is silliness and laughter
Spending time on the DIS and watching WDW info videos
Watching my favorite TV comedies
