happy things - days 17 & 18
Day 17: Sleeping in. Family cuddles and staying warm. Cute little bear feet. Naps. Having a space heater. Wonderful friends who bring me milk when I can’t get my car out of my driveway.
Day 18: Getting some Dreamlight Valley time in. Making progress on the book I’m reading. A perfect snow ledge on my front porch. Making taco pinwheels for dinner. Not losing my entire mind. Going to bed early.
In our fast-paced world, finding joy in simple moments can profoundly affect our mental well-being. On Days 17 and 18, I experienced small yet fulfilling pleasures, such as sleeping in and enjoying treasured family cuddles. These moments remind us of the importance of mindfulness and being present. Engaging in activities like reading and gaming, specifically in titles like Dreamlight Valley, can serve as an excellent escape and a way to unwind. Furthermore, cooking enjoyable meals like taco pinwheels not only nourishes the body but also brings a sense of accomplishment. Snow-covered porches spark a sense of wonder and evoke childhood memories, while interactions with friends provide the support needed during tough times—like needing milk when the car is stuck. All these little things culminate into our daily happiness. It's about cherishing life's small joys and creating a nurturing environment that fosters positive emotions.
