This week’s New York magazine cover story is “How to Be Happy” – a simplistic segue, but without further ado, Five Things That Make Me Happy:
1. Coffee Specifically, a Starbucks Venti Skim Misto. Heaven! The smell, the taste, the caffeine ….
2. A Perfect Fall Day High in the 60s, golden sun filtered through red, yellow and orange-leaved trees, perhaps a football game on the radio ….
3. The First Robin Sighting of Spring Somehow, as soon as I see my first robin, I tell myself that I will survive another winter, and spring won’t be that much longer of a wait.
4. A Good Mail Day Doesn’t have to be volume, but a letter from a friend, a cool catalog or magazine, a trinket – I love that it shows up!
5. Chocolate Chip Cookies These are good all the way through the process. If homemade, the batter is almost better than the baked, and the scent is too much. If bought, the choices (and the size) are a treat!
What makes you happiest? Have a great (and happy?) weekend.
