It’s interesting how what makes you happy changes as you get older. What once made me happy in my younger years, doesn’t bring me the same joy nowadays. I don’t want loud, I don’t want busy, and I don’t want to be out past 9. It is so funny because that is exactly what I was in my younger years. The materialistic things that once brought me joy, don’t anymore. That isn’t the happiness I am chasing at the moment. Surprisingly, I am evolving into someone who likes the simple life. Here are 6 things that are making me smile so big lately.
Long Afternoons
I am living for longer afternoons when the sun is still out! They make my whole workday worth the time being away. That means I get to go home after my 8-5 and still feel like I have hours left in my day with my family. I can fit getting a run in, going on a walk, taking my kids to the park. It makes my heart so happy and I can really slow down and enjoy the evening.
My Health Journey
Yes, if you follow me on IG, you know that I have been super into being healthier. I have managed to change my eaing habits the past recent years but this time I really am enjoying the process. I am doing a May challenge with my siblings focused on making changes towards a nmore disciplined, happier and healthier life. I am loving sharing all our food pictures, and hearing about the movement in their day. This stuff makes me so excited and to say I am thrilled is an understatement. I am over the roof excited LOL. I love this kind of things, They motivate me so much.
Watching my kids grow
As much as they can sometimes drive me crazy and overwhelm me, I have caught myself pausing and just observing them many times lately. I find myself chuckling or smiling at whatever funny thing one of them has unintentionally said and I feel proud as I hear their accomplishments. Each of them has their own personality, their own way of doing things and expressing their thoughts. I am reminded how fast time goes as I stare at my now 15-year-old and remember when she did the same at 2. I don’t admit it a lot, but I get sad that they are growing so fast and soon will need less and less of me.
All the babies
Our family has so many babies around right now. My heart just cannot handle it. It is baby Season in our home. It is cuddling, hugging, and carrying my newborn niece, my almost 1 year old nephew. Every weekend we are all together and they just are growing so fast and into their own different unique personality. I can’t wait to see all our babies continue making memories together. Cousin time is really the best bond.
Quiet Mornings
I am slowly working my way up to 5 am wakeup again (I did that all May and June last year). I have managed to be up at 6: 15 this week and I have been able to have my morning coffee, get some morning things done before I start the get myself and kids ready for the day routine. I haven’t given up hope that I am really a morning person.
Sex and the City
You know how some shows make you super happy and you love watching and rewatching all the time? Like Friends, The Office, Desperate Housewives, Parks and rec, The Kardashians, for example? I have found a new but old show that I am obsessed with. I have found it way too late, and it makes me laugh, smile, and cry. Sex and the City. I am loving the characters; the plot and it is just a good feel-good show all around. My new guilty pleasure show, and yes, it is that GOOD and worth the hype of the past 20 years.
