Little Things I Look Forward To Each Day

I was thinking a few days ago about all the routine things I do each day that make me smile, bring me out of a bad mood, comfort me, etc.  If you sense a list coming up, you’re correct!  Here’s my list of little things that I look forward to each day (most likely in order of appearance!).

1.  My morning run:  If you couldn’t tell from my 5:00AM wake-up calls, I’m an early bird.  Running in the morning is so peaceful (and necessary in the summer).  It’s the best way to start the day.

2.  Venti sugar-free vanilla non-fat misto:  I swing by Starbucks on the days that I go into work (I work from home 2 days a week).  Delicious!  I know my drink order is super high maintenance but this is way cheaper than a Skinny Vanilla Latte but tastes the same.

3.  Readers’ comments:  I LOVE reading your comments!  I get so excited when my Gmail lights up!  Keep ’em coming 🙂

4.  Blog reading:  I also love to read all of your blogs!

5.  Walking in the door after work and seeing Hawk:  How can you not love a dog that is so happy to see you every day?  He practically looses his mind when I walk in the door.

6.  Having dinner with Matt:  I love to sit down and eat with Matt (bonus if it’s summer and we can grill and eat on the deck).

7.  Taking Hawk for a walk:  Bonus if Matt comes along.  I enjoy going out for a walk but don’t get the chance to do it very often.

8.  Watching a TV show with Matt:  We don’t watch much TV so this is a real treat.  Usually we watch a show on Netflix (just finished up Friday Night Lights – so so so good!).

9.  Bed:  Yes, I’m serious.  I love to sleep and go to bed early – between 9:00 and 9:30.  Yup, call me grandma.  But that 5:00AM wake-up call comes pretty fast!

What are some routine things that you look forward to each day?
