Teresa over at Life Homesteading and Everything gave me this award 11 days ago but have just gotten around to it now... THANKS Teresa!! I am honoured!The rules to this award are to list 10 things and 10 blogs that make you happy.
Things:
1) Snow days like yesterday! We got 30 cm of snow in the night and the University was closed...a great day to go for a walk, make some soups and work on my thesis... This is the view from out our back door in morning!
2) Cooking! It is so relaxing and rewarding. My body always feels better with a home cooked meal! This is a cream of broccoli soup I made last week...delicious and not a lot of cream!
3) My fish tanks...I already posted about those here and here.4) My blooming orchids! I took these photos this morning...I love the light that reflects from the snow.
5) My first cup of coffee in the morning.6) Singing birds when I walk to work.
7) Sunshine streaming in my window in the morning.
8) Swimming. I do this at least twice a week and it is so relaxing and calming. I LOVE being in the water!
9) Practicing Yoga. I am taking this amazing Vinyasa Flow class twice a week and I supplement with some Ashtanga 1-2 times per week. It is so calming and invigorating at the same time. My body and soul thank me every time I do it.
10) Last but definitely not least....being madly in love with Diego even after 7 years!
Blogs that make me happy.

(ps- can't wait to check out these blogs!)
Thank you so much for the award and such kind words. Might I add that you already have a positive outlook on life (from what I have read from your blog). You have many years before you reach the big 5-0!!!!! I love your blog, check it every day. If there's something new - i'm so excited and if nothing new is posted, well I re-read the old :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the award Alli and also your very kind words.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to play along, come on over and see what makes me happy, although I'm sure you already know.
