"So much has been given to me; I have no time to ponder over that which has been denied." Helen Keller
There are so many things I am grateful for. But this is a list of the top ten external things that make me happy that are absolutely nonessential for life. I noticed that many of these are related to nature, and all of them have to do with relaxation for me.
Catnaps. There’s no way to describe the warmth of the sun touching skin and hair. That warmth becomes part of you and sends you into sweet repose.
Good smells. Rain, lilies, really good perfume or cologne, new car, almond extract, chocolate chip cookies in the oven, Bounce sheets.
Ballroom dancing. The act of or just watching it. It’s so graceful and elegant. My favorite form of physical activity.
Music. So many kinds I don't want to list them. Truly a universal language.
Blankets. Warm and snuggly.
Lightning storms. Breathtaking, heavenly, exciting, peaceful, mesmerizing.
The beach. The sound of the ocean, the sun, the breeze, seashells, looking for dolphins on the horizon, sunsets, seashells. So many happy things!
Mountaintops. Breathtaking views, heavenly smells.
Starry night skies. Not only beautiful but also a reminder of how God’s creations are infinite.
Snowfall. Watching it inside at night with the house lights off. So cozy!
