What Makes You Happy?

-
I was just thinking about little things that make me happy. I'm not talking about the major things like my husband, children, that sort of happiness. I mean the little silly things that bring a little bit of sunshine to your day. Like a brand new skein of yarn. Just looking at yarn makes me happy. The possibilities of what it could become are endless and I love that.
Or getting a snapchat from my husband, who isn't a fan of them. He'll send me them of what conveyor he's working on, or sometimes just of him. They always make me smile. Or when my oldest texts me that she misses me. They both know howto bring a smile to my face.
Getting a chance to sit and read a good book. I'm in the middle of Tituba, the Black Witch of Salem. Doodle had to read it for her summer class and suggested I read it. I highly recommend it. And I just finished the Handmaid's Tale. The book and the show are fabulous! That's another thing-finding a series you like. I just finished the second season of Handmaid's. Now I'm at a loss until next April. Any suggestions?
Let's not overlook animal kisses. Especially from a cat as stingy as ours. The dogs, on the other hand, are free with theirs. Ever try to be upset when getting kissees? You can't. It's impossible.
Or something as simple as getting into bed after a long day. The soft sheets and squishy pillow. What more could you need?
What little things make you happy? Chocolate? Coffee? Something your significant other does? Tell me! I think we all need to pay attention to the little things as well as the big ones sometimes.

DIY Body Wrap

OK, this started as another one of those "Pinterest Experiments" to see if it would really work, and it actually did! I had read on Pinterest that you can do a body wrap at home wayyyy cheaper than at spas. All you need is lotion, plastic wrap and whatever body part you want to lose about .5 in on. Seriously. I did it on my stomach, because after 3 children, I have the "pooch". I hate the "pooch". I figured that this wouldn't hurt, so while Hubby was in Washington, I tried it. All you do is put lotion on the body part you are working on. It's preferable to have a lotion with something from the sea in it, like seaweed, kelp, etc, but not absolutely necessary. Put A LOT on. I mean to where it's not soaking in anymore. Then you wrap the body part in plastic wrap. You can either secure it with an ace bandage or do what I did and just tape it. Since I did it around my belly, I just taped it to itself and it stayed in place. Then you go to bed. Whe

On My Journey: Cataracts

-

Along with my entire family, I wear glasses.  I have for about 3 years now.  I had noticed about two months ago that my left eye was really bad.  I couldn't see anything out of it, just blurry blobs.  So,  I carried myself to the eye doctors, expecting to get a new prescription.  He dilated my eyes because my left eye failed all the tests.  Imagine my surprise when he tells me that at the age of 42, I have cataracts.  I couldn't believe it! He said this is extremely rare, but does happen.  I ended up leaving there with a referral to an eye surgeon instead of a prescription.  Now I'm waiting to go see the eye surgeon.  I'm a little nervous even though I know it's an easy,  routine surgery.  I will keep all you wonderful readers updated as this progresses!
