just 10 things to be happy about

big sister just sent me the link to this blog.
the lovely author entitled one of her posts back in december, 14, 000 things to be happy about.

being inspired, i decided to jot down just 10 things that i am happy about on this january morning.
simple things, but still happy ones.

1. worn in, borrowed books from a college friend
2. pomegranate izze in a glass bottle
3. lying in warm, rumpled, bed sheets past noon
4. sharing office re-runs with little brothers
5. looking at 8 lovely birthday cards on my dresser
6. sitting in the car with both the heat and music on high
7. dreaming of a winter snowstorm
8. chaos of the entire family talking and laughing at once
9. fresh flowers in the bedroom
10. trips to nyc - to visit a very special rabbit...

that is happiness; to be dissolved into something completely great.
