Every once in awhile I get sorta down - I like to blame it on the hormones. My dear Husband usually responds to this by telling me that I need to do something that'll make me happy - that's what he does. Hugh is really good at feeling free to do what he wants when he wants (and it's rare that it is inconvenient for me). BUT my biggest problem seems to be that I can never think of what makes me happy - what can I do?
SO, it's been a long time since I've blogged and I thought, maybe I should create a blog/reminder for myself of the things that make me happy and then I have a list of things to choose from on those down days. Here is my list - feel free to comment and add suggestions of things to make you happy :)
Pedicures:
Alright, I actually have only had one or maybe two professional pedicures in my life, but I THINK about getting them ALL the time! I wish they were cheap, then I'd actually GET them all the time! :)
Massages:
I love massages and used to get them all the time - I especially loved it when it was part of my health plan through my company! I miss those days!!! Now that the money comes right out of our pockets, I can't really treat myself to a massage without feeling stressed and guilty about it, which takes all the fun out of it.
Going to a Movie:
I LOVE going to movies - and I'm not really picky about genres, except I just can't handle scary or sweary. :) I'm one of those 'boring' people that if people asked me what to do I would always choose watching a movie!
I love being outside in the sun soaking in the rays... mmmmmm.... feels so good! I wish the sun wasn't so bad for our skin because I would suntan everyday that I could! And during winter I would totally be a regular in the tanning beds, I just love it!! And actually when I prepare to labor and create my 'special place' to take my mind off of the contractions, usually I just imagine myself laying outside in the sun. This totally makes me happy!
Swimming is one of my favorite things to do! I think as I look at my list above that I really should try to live in a hotter climate - I could totally be a beach bum! It's sorta funny looking to be ina swimsuit I think when I'm pregnant, but I could swim all day and it feels so good to be in the water!
Last thing that makes me happy is being around the people I love. My Husband and children bring me such great joy - I'm truly so grateful for them! Also, I've been blessed with wonderful friends, I just wish I could spend more time with everyone!!! Here are some pictures of my family that makes me smile.
How can someone feel down after these?
