Going to a #HappyParty: Slice of Life #sol19 16/31

Today, I’m accepting an invitation to a #HappyParty from Christie Wyman, who blogs at Wondering and Wandering.

Here are things that are making me happy this week:

My favorite table empty and waiting for me at the coffee shop
Daily yoga, especially when I’m in Downward Dog and a cat comes over and stretches into Downward Dog right beneath me
A trip to the library
Good morning texts from my mom, especially when she includes photos of her cats
Dark chocolate with sea salt and caramel
Very thorough DOT snow plow drivers
Waking up early before anyone else in the house is awake
A new Slice of Life commenting challenge–75 this time!
My iPhone loaded with new episodes of my favorite podcasts (What Should I Read Next, Down to Dunk, Reading Glasses)
Peppy Irish jigs with flutes and violins playing everywhere I go this week
Three unexpected snow days
Snuggles with my favorite cat

I’ve seen several people come to Christie’s #HappyParty this month and I love every one of the slices that are inspired by it. I connected with almost everything you listed (esp dark chocolate with sea salt and caramel!) Sharing our joys is infectious. Thanks for spreading the happiness germs!

It’s so sweet that you and your mother text about cats every morning. Good luck with the comment challenge.

Your list made me smile as well. My Spring Break just started this weekend, so a happy post is in my near future!

Lots to be happy about! I only miss snow days in theory- glad to not have the snow!

Oh, I’ve always known we could be good friends – cats, books, libraries, & lovers of early morning, but the dark chocolate with sea salt & caramel has sealed the deal. Now I’m off to check out Reading Glasses & Down to Dunk. I love discovering new podcasts.

  Ha! I thought Down to Dunk might be about dunking cookies (and reading books).

    Ha! Probably none of my readers would be interested in Down to Dunk, which is a basketball podcast about my son’s favorite team, the OKC Thunder (my favorite too!). I think a podcast about cookies and books sounds perfect! But I think you WOULD like Reading Glasses. Good stuff! (Though a fair bit of “language” if that bothers you.)

What a great photo of Chipolte! He has the most unusual and fascinating whiskers! They are mesmerizing, aren’t they? I’m so glad that you/we can enjoy these morning texts and cat photo exchanges! It’s a happy way for me to start the day.

The coffee shop, library, Irish music all got me – and so did your cat picture! I am leaving the happy party, happy. 🙂

Great post about things that make you happy. I like the early morn time too, but I haven’t done it lately, especially since the time change. I’m working on adjusting.
