Zuppa Toscana |
After dinner, I looked around at my clean house and realized that I had a couple hours to myself without the nagging task of dirty dishes staring at me. My husband wasn't due home for an hour more, so I spent that time searching through recipes in my new favorite cookbook; the Sparkpeople Cookbook.
My favorite cookbook! My grandma gave me it as a Christmas present this year! :) |
As I sat on my couch, I smiled to myself. I realized that I had really found what I have been reading about in the Happiness Project (the healthy living book that I am reading in effort to work toward crossing another items off of my 25 by 25 list). I found joy in my ordinary day. I was loving my life, just as it was, in that very moment. Sometimes, it's good to sit back and really look at where you are, and what you have in life to be thankful for. I am thankful for so much, and just by accomplishing so little in my evening, it opened the door to me being able to feel the joy that is my life.
So take a deep breath, relax your shoulders, take a look around and tell me: what is making your ordinary (or not so ordinary) life wonderful today?
