30 things I like about you…

Daily writing prompt
List 30 things that make you happy.
  1. Hot coffee, not lukewarm
  2. A good book, currently re-reading Whitethorn Woods by Maeve Binchy
  3. A good Netflix series, just finished Sirens, Four Seasons and La Palma…Sirens by far the best of the three
  4. The sound of leaves in the trees in summer
  5. And well, a good breeze…one that’s just right, 15-30 km/hr
  6. Half a day where I don’t spill anything
  7. When the takeout order is correct and all in the bag, a rarity in Thompson
  8. Smoke-free days (I think we’ve had 3 so far this summer)
  9. Estate sale treasures
  10. Good hair days
  11. Unboxing my Temu order (I knowwwww…I’m so sorry, I may go to hell for it…I only do it once in a blue moon I swear)
  12. A good eggs benny
  13. Seeing my plants florish
  14. Seeing my kids florish
  15. Making it to garbage day with enough room in the bin
  16. Compliments
  17. The way the water glistens on the lake when we’re out fishing
  18. Catching more fish than Clint (makes me insanely happy)
  19. A good long, heart pounding walk
  20. Brushing my teeth in the morning, feels soooo good
  21. When my favourite spoon is clean and hasn’t been used already by someone else
  22. Stepping onto a dry bath mat, these kids get out soaking wet I swear, like nobody taught them to basically dry themselves off, including legs and feet BEFORE stepping out…oh yeah, that was probably supposed to be me…they argue, that’s what the bath mat is FOR Mom!!
  23. Clean sheets
  24. Dark salted chocolate
  25. Napping outside
  26. A shopping cart that drives straight
  27. Nail day
  28. Planning a trip
  29. This blog and all of you
  30. Frozen blueberries, Greek yogurt and my homemade granola, I swear I could eat this all day everyday
I know it’s smoky in a lot of places but this is what we’re dealing with at times, this was Saturday evening around 7 pm…like an apocalypse was near…photo by Nuno Pereira
And just like that, the wind shifted and yesterday we had one of the three nice, smoke free days
