My Social Media-less Life

For once, the daily prompt actually sounds fun to me and I’ve been trying to find out how to start writing all day so… here we are at the end of the day… trying to start something.

What the daily prompt doesn’t know about me is that there are very few things that don’t bring me happiness, so narrowing it down to just five things will actually be a bit difficult. I don’t mind a good challenge though.

Five very ordinary, everyday things that bring me happiness:

1. My car. For anyone that’s met me in the last 4 months, this will literally come as no surprise. However, it’s my dream car and I am actually driving around in it! How could I be anything BUT happy about that?!

2. The location of my house. This one might seem a bit silly, but I love where my house is: at the end of a dead-end street but close enough to a main road that it takes very little time to get anywhere worth getting to, plus all of the neighbors are friendly enough that they will all wave as you drive up and down the street because they at least recognize your face.
Side note: sometimes it bugs me just a little bit that my roommate will comment on the overly friendly nature of our next-door neighbors’ children in a way that almost sounds negative because… even though I will also go out of my way to avoid them if I’m in a hurry, I LOVE the fact that they have no problems being so friendly… or being out in the middle of the cul-de-sac with chalk… or riding their bikes around in circles… or using our yard to have a picnic because we have a tree in our front yard and they don’t.
To be fair… I wish I was able to be closer with my neighbors…

3. My bed. I have a SleepNumber bed and I recently had to change my old one out with one my mom had in her garage that she hadn’t been using for some time due to lack of bedrooms downsizing from her previous house. Anyway, since I switched out the bed (I think my old one just wasn’t holding air anymore), I look forward to going to bed at night. And it’s not just because I’m tired. I legitimately LOVE my bed and it definitely makes me happy.

4. My shoes. I feel like this could be most women’s (or even some men’s) response, but hey. I LOVE shoes, and I love MY shoes. I will go out of my way to buy more if I can… but I will also wear the shoes I have until the soles wear out.

5. SOCKS. And no, that doesn’t stand for anything. I just realized I forgot the thing that makes me THE MOST HAPPY IS SOCKS. And I’ve recently discovered it doesn’t matter what style, just as long as they stay on my feet and they’re comfy to wear.

Those are my 5 everyday things that make me the most happy. What about you? Do you have anything that makes you happy that’s a part of your everyday life? 🙂
