Three things that made you happy today

Simple rules:
1) It has to be something that made YOU happy, not someone else.

2) It can't be "backhanded" happy, such as you didn't get hit by a bus. Stick to reality. Not getting attacked by zombies doesn't count, either.

I started this with my daughter because she would leave me notes when i would tuck her into bed at night. They started out as simple notes, but quickly turned into all the things that made her mad. So, I suggested we start a book, and we would have to write 3 things that made us happy that day. Sometimes it's easy. Sometimes, I stare at the page and I'm blank.

Some examples...my daughter was happy I scratched her back. I was happy because my kickboxing class was really fun. LOL...on the weekends, my happy is being able to sleep in.

Just wondering if anyone else can think of 3 things that made tham happy today. Try it everyday. It'll will change your outlook on a lot of things!

Today, I was happy that 1) I finally got to make homemade sausage and it was REALLY good :-) 2). I got in a really good workout at home! (I don't normally workout at home) 3). I put on my favorite pair of jeans, out of the dryer, and they seemed to not be quite as tight :bigsmile:

    Yesterday I found out I got my "step increase" at work -- more than I expected!

    Today, my Fitbit gave me a badge for doing more than 5000 steps! (okay, I'm a geek)

    Today, our new treadmill arrived, and my DH put it together all by himself, and had it ready for me when I got home! :flowerforyou:

    1. I was lifting my 4-year old over a babygate and must have hurt his waist b/c he said "Ouch, you hurt my muffin-top".
    2. I had a nice conversation with a friend.
    3. I weighed myself and lost 2 pounds which is HUGE for me. I'm lucky if I lose 1/2 a pound a week.

    2. My boss sat and listened to me today.

    1. I had a productive morning working on my dissertation.
    2. I got to spend time snuggling both my kids in my lap. It is not easy to get a 5 year old and a 16 month old to both be still at the same time, but they both climbed up and hung out with me for a while.
    3. I lost a total of 2.4 pounds this week, which made up for not losing last week :)
