Hey! Sorry for the delayed Happiness post this week. Better late than never (as with any gratitude practice)! I really let things go this week, but it was okay and honestly good, and needed. I will catch up on everything in time and I just needed to do things at my own speed and for myself. I needed some days to mope, meditate, eat ice cream, and some days to go on adventures. It’s been up and down, but that is life, or at least mine.
Wanting to remind you there is still time to get your Stuffed Animal to me for the Sleepover! Sign up here.
Here’s what I’ve been into lately…
Pictures from last week:
The softest animal I’ve ever touched taking time to smell the roses
Reading Inner Witch
Taking time to clean the studio (and what I swept up)
Going on a Time Travel Journey with David London at the Peale Center
Roommate Pranks
Finding a snowman and adding a face
Getting invited to a fancy cocktail/catered event with beautiful flowers and delicious food
Sparkly desserts
Nature thriving in winter
Debuting my first pair of pants in 8 years on the No Pants Subway Ride (only to take them off publicly)
Meeting John on the train, who collects hats that look like animals
Finding a giant fresh ground pepper shaker and offering people fresh ground pepper (because the “Trigger Happy TV” fan in me took over my body — see video below)
