Happiness is…
What makes me happy? The little things in life. Not nice clothes, not a fancy car, or any of the “finer” things. Those give you momentary joy that fades. I prefer the consistent and permanent kind of happiness.
Happiness is…..
waking up with the sun…
working out with an awesome group of people at Crossfit Oswego…
biking along the beautiful fox river to work…
…and taking self portraits while biking (and I wonder why Shain always worries for my safety)
getting to work an a beautiful college campus and serve students…
planting flowers in my yard…
and having them turn out like this…
Happiness is…
lazy Sundays with my boys…
walking down to the Farmer’s Market…
grabbing coffee and a treat at the Village Grind…
cooking up new recipes with Farmer’s Market finds…
Happiness is…
sitting on the back patio…
wine with friends…
helping someone run their first 5k…
and just running in general…
obnoxious headbands that make me look like I am 12 (but I don’t care, I love them)…
being surrounded by nature…
Go find YOUR happiness, stay blessed in the mess 🙂
