Bits of Happiness

This is where I found my bits of happiness this weekend...


*I went to my friend's daughter's birthday party.  It was so nice to be there to celebrate her special day.  She was my student a couple years ago, so it was extra special.  I felt normal again.


*I went shoe shopping and bought four new pairs of shoes!


*I went out for breakfast and got a delicious breakfast burrito.


*My husband and I volunteered at my school's Fall Event.  We worked the dime toss booth for a couple hours.  We had such a good time!


*I finished the last book in the Hunger Games Series.  The first two were fantastic and the last book was okay.  But I'm still happy I finished the series.


*I got to meet my good friend's baby for the first time today.  I put him to sleep and held him for a long time.  It felt good.


*We went to the dog costume parade a few minutes from our house.  So fun!  I love where I live.


*I'm going to enjoy some Indian food for dinner.


*I took the pups on longer walks both days this weekend.  I love walking around our neighborhood, seeing the beach, and just spending time with my husband.


*I had my first glass of iced tea in months.  I enjoyed an Iced Chai Tea from Starbucks.  I also treated myself to seared ahi tuna, yum!  All things I couldn't have when I was pregnant.


I'm proud of myself for getting out and doing things this weekend.  I know it doesn't seem like much, but to me it is.  I told myself after the surgery, I was not going to lay around and feel sorry for myself.  Sometimes I just want to crawl back into bed and stay there forever, but that's not life.  I'm putting one foot in front of the other and living!
