“List 30 things that make you happy.”

So, today I’m supposed to list 30 things that make me happy. Let’s see how far I actually come with that: dogs, my friends, the first cup of coffee in the morning, rain (mind me, we need the water), a home cooked meal, knitting a pair of sox with really luxurious wool (there is a brand that contains silk, the softest wool you have ever touched), diamond painting, walking in the close by nature preserve, the way we can enjoy TV nowadays (I grew up with only 3 channels and those would shut down between 12 am til 10ish am, needless to say, the program was pretty boring too), books by Terry Pratchett and Jim Butcher, a new piece of tech (like a new tablet, phone or PC) and my upcoming brand new kitchen.

Not even close to 30, but you see, I do not need things in order to be happy. Happiness is a choice and it comes from inside you. Yes, nice things add to that, but someone should never relay on things in order to be happy. On that note, have a pawesome sunday everybody, be happy, healthy and safe.

“Describe one habit that brings you joy.”

My dog and crafting! Both are constant source of joy. Right now my favorite crafting things are knitting and diamond painting. While knitting is a very old habit of mine, diamond painting is new to me and I love it very much. Very soothing and kinda peaceful. My dog on the other hand spreads joy and fun just by sitting there. Walking with her clears my head and keeps me somewhat fit. I can’t imagine to live without a dog ever again.

Have a pawtastic weekend everybody. Stay healthy, happy and safe.
