happy.

{source}

i’ve honestly been having a really rough couple days. i’m just feeling as though nothing is working out the way i need or would like it to, and with one step forward i make two steps back. in an effort to remain focused and grounded, i’m listing off the things that have made me happy today.

• a husband who hugs me when i’m feeling discouraged.
• chocolate chip cookies.
• feta cheese on my salads.
• sewing something new in spite of 3 broken needles.
• my pandora station.
• ben not having to work until noon, meaning we got to sleep in and enjoy our morning together. normally we don’t even see each other until after work.
• the anticipation of a day off tomorrow with ben and a trip to boston.

thinking about the things i have to be thankful for and happy about really helps on days when i’m feeling less than happy and thankful.
