10 Things to be Happy About

In any circumstance, there is always something to be thankful for. – Joyce Meyer

“May I never forget the good things He has done for me.” – Psalm 103:2

I heard this in a podcast from Joyce Meyer, and it immediately stuck. It is something I want to always remember. Its so easy to grump around about so many things that happen in life. But its true, as long as I’m breathing, eating, walking, and typing this blog post, my list of gratitudes are endless. So today’s episode of 10 Things, I am talking about things I’m be happy and grateful for.

It was easy and quite hard to come up with this list. I wanted to stay away from the obvious ones like family, sunshines, shoes…boring stuff like that. But come up with things that are less obvious, things that I never would normally not thing twice about and often take for granted.

Rainy days – We’ve had a few rainy days this week and its so nice to take this opportunity to chill at home and enjoy the coziness. The downtime is much appreciated in our house.
Boba – I tried a new boba place in OC, and it was so good. I treat myself occasionally to this sweet treat, and I am so happy there are so many good boba places around OC.
Audible App – A recent discovery and I don’t know why it took me so long to try it. Life changing! I would have read to many more books had I knew I could listen to them on my phone. ha! Currently reading/listening to Grace, no Perfection by Emily Ley.
More light this week – Daylight savings has been hard to adjust to, but I do love the longer days. Gives me more energy during the evenings.
Spring Dresses – I have been mad shopping for dresses lately. Always been a dress lover, and I’m excited for Spring dress season. I did a roundup of all my favorite casual dresses yesterday. Check it out here!
Moms group – I attend a weekly moms group, which is a mix of a book club, coffee date and small group. I am so grateful for this particular group of women who are faithful, Jesus loving and fabulous young mamas! I know God always gives and places you in the right place, right time, and I am certain he introduced me to these wonderful ladies at this point in my life for a reason.
The hubbs is home all week – After weeks of lots of solo parenting, I am so glad John is home for longer periods. Mostly, I’m grateful that I don’t have to take out the trash. 😉
Health – Good health is an easy one to take for granted, so I am so very happy for a body that is works to exercise, play with Jax, eat good food (no allergies!) and so many other daily, habitual, relatively insignificant things.
Home cooked meals – I hate cooking for one (or 1.5 with Jax), so I order take or eat out a ton when John is traveling. Now that he is back, I am so happy to be able to eat healthy, nutritious foods again.
Joyce Meyer Podcast – I have been all about podcasts lately, and Joyce Meyer’s “Enjoying Everyday Life” podcasts have been such a blessing. They are 15 mins short messages, but packed with so much good stuff that inspires me and brings so much perspective. I listen to them on the way home from dropping off Jax at school and I’m addicted!
