I talk to my mom every morning. I text her when I get up. Call her on my drive to work. But weekends are my favorite, I can sit in my sweats and ramble on about life and work and sports. This Saturday morning she asked me the question that never ends, "are you happy?"
I, like most of us, could rattle off about ten things that irritated me this week or the just stupid things people do that make me really wonder; but if you ask me if I'm right now, in this moment, happy the answer is
Yes.
_______ makes me happy.
A really good outfit, that isn't wasted on a boring day, makes me happy.
Videos of Sophie in front of the family Christmas tree singing Merry Christmas that end with mom saying "We love you" make me happy.
A really great playlist that you never have to skip a song on makes me happy.

Signing media contracts makes me [really] happy.

When my dad says I love you when we get off the phone makes me happy.
Laughing with my little brother, whether text/phone/in person, makes me happy.
Lunch dates, trivia nights, marathon text dates that last all day, unexpected phone calls with friends make me happy.
Pictures of sweet baby Warren [always] make me happy.
Long baths were you feel like Jell-o when you get out make me happy.
Working late and feeling like Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada when you leave the office makes me happy,
This stage of life is making me happier every day.
