10 Things That Made Me Happy This Week // 08

Reflecting on gratitude and happiness each week. // dreams-etc.com

  1. RAIN! For half of the week. I loved it.
  2. Dark chocolate mochas.
  3. My nephew’s first hockey game.
  4. Reminiscing about college and one of our fave writing teachers with a coworker!
  5. A lunch date with my best friend scheduled for tomorrow. It’s been too long!
  6. Visiting my old hairstylists art studio.
  7. New jewelry on the way. (Even if it means Sparkles & Pop is closing.)
  8. The most supportive parents. They’re wonderful!
  9. Gingerbread biscotti.
  10. Starting to feel festive. I think it might be time to start swapping out fall decor for Christmas decor.

WHAT MADE YOU HAPPY THIS WEEK?

    A dark chocolate mocha and gingerbread biscotti both sound perfect right now! I have been enjoying rainy fall days as well! 🙂

    Oh man, it rained ALL WEEK here and it was so depressing. Then for an hour on Wednesday, it got super sunny, no rain/wind, and 60 degrees! Penelope and I walked around the block because man, it’s not fun being cooped up in the house!
