August is almost over which means summer is quickly coming to a close. Since this time of year so closely coincides with transitions in my personal life (hello Baby Girl!), I thought I’d share a light post with my top 10 reasons to be happy. We all have a lot to be thankful for in our lives, but sometimes it’s nice to have a little reminder 😉

We all have Reasons to be Happy
- Lungs that can breath the air around us – two soon to start with the sappy stuff? Yeah, OK I hear ya. But really though, breathing is pretty darn amazing and it’s definitely a reason to be happy!
- Fur babies – Nora seriously makes me so happy. I’ve never had a pet that I connected with like I do her, we just get each other, you know?
- Fantastic friends – one of my best friends recently moved to Portland and she only lives like, 15 minutes from me! After living apart from her for almost six years, I’m soooo happy to finally be able to see her more regularly again!
- Support from a loved one – my husband is the type of person who believes if you want something, you have to work for it. I absolutely LOVE this about him and he makes me really think about the “how.” How am I going to get there, how will this plan work, etc. At the same time, I know when he pushes me to think this way he knows I can do it.
- Ability to bring my Baby Girl into the world – the fact that I have the capability to actually create and grow another little human is pretty marvelous, and I’m so excited to experience bringing her into the world after sharing my body with her these past nine months!
- Ice cream – my pregnancy hormones are raging lately and I’ve been crying every day for NO REASON. But hey, at least there’s ice cream to make me feel better 🙂 (Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups aren’t doing it for me anymore).
- You can choose it – free will is a powerful thing and realizing we have thepower to choose to be happy is pretty incredible.
- Feel the sun or the rain or the wind, or just whatever! Feeling the sun on my skin or even the way the air feels when the seasons start changing gives me all the goose bumps and nostalgia 🙂
- Laughter – laughing is definitely one of the best reasons to be happy!
- Music – do you ever just put on some tunes and dance around your living room? Mine looks more like “put on music –> bounce on birthing ball” lol but still, so many feel good emotions and reasons to be happy when there’s music playing!
What brings you joy or gives you reasons to be happy? I wanna know! Leave me a comment below and have a happy week!
