Being easy to please, I need less than most people. I'm easily pleased, easily amused yet, I'm not easy in THAT way. LOL!
For me, the simple things in life appeal to me. Of course, I enjoy the girly things like a manicure & pedicure, a professional waxing (use your creativity), bath bombs (google it), silky night clothes, 5" heels. Yeah! I love it!
One year, while visiting my eldest daughter, my youngest daughter took me to the beach for my birthday. It was all I wanted, all I needed, it was perfect!
You may have picked up on this, from prior blog posts, a warm ocean beach is my version of heaven on earth! The ocean makes me feel alive, makes me feel more at home, more "in my element" than any place.
My daughter & I stopped off at a Taco Bell for a small meal on the way back. DANG! We were living high! 😻
Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, baby!
It was a really good birthday!
The financial cost? $20. at the most!
The total worth? Priceless!
That's what it took to make it so good, so very memorable!
For the most part, I love to cook at home. Home cooked meals are the best of all. Some restaurant foods are good. There is so much love that goes into making & serving a home cooked meal that most restaurants fall slightly short from.
Also, home cooked meals are more healthy than restaurant food.
Give me healthy low calorie deliciousness!
Something I need, really need to be happy is my gym membership!
Gym is da man! Makes my heart beat faster & harder, gets me hot and sweaty better than almost anything. I say, almost!
Having a clean & organized home also contributes to my happiness whereas the alternative leaves me depressed, anxious, in a very precarious state of being. I kinda sorta fell off the wagon, got out of synch on that one. It was temporary, it gets better every day!
My shame filled confession is that ~
I'm human, reasonably normal!
For a long time I didn't have enough food to eat, when some prosperity came in, I went overboard. Yeah. As hard as I have worked initially to take off weight, I gained a bit back. Along with the extra weight, the frightening aches & pains started to come back. Pain in my knees, back, feet. Becoming tired easily.
OOPS!
The feeling of going back into obesity was depressing, it made it harder to move around enough to clean & organize. It began to disturb my sleep. Then, there was the way my clothes fit me.
Yup.
It was time to get back to more healthy habits for gym time, food, then work on my home.
It's a good thing to say that the weight is dropping off, again, my house looks so much better, back on track. No aches or pains, my sleep is better, my energy level is climbing higher. YES!
It feels so good! (This is an understatement!)
During this time it's taking to get back on track I'm making myself happy by finishing needlework projects.
By doing random acts of kindness anonymously, taking occasional day trips alone or with my bff Anita, they keep me happy!
Simple things!
Peeps, find simple things that give your heart a happy little jump!
Feel the joy!
If life sucks, embrace the suck!
