Simple Pleasures – Open House Style

As I prepare to sell my house, these are some of the things that give me satisfaction:

1. A decluttered closet. Nothing extra is hanging about. The surplus has been donated, and out of season items stored away. Ahhh.

3. A poop free yard. My silly dog won’t go anywhere but in the side yard at home. She never leaves behind anything on a walk, not even a drop of pee. Too much information, I know. At least she only uses a small, out of the way area.

4. Cleared off kitchen counters. This is how I like them. I have a toaster, a fruit bowl, and a small container of utensils. That’s all.

5. The fresh smell of an “Ocean Breeze” candle. It makes the whole house smell clean and puts me in a good mood.

Simple Things That Make Me Happy

IMG_2063Here are five more to contemplate.

1. A warm shower on a cold morning to get the blood flowing.

2. Having every dish in the house clean and put away.

3. Having every piece of clothing in the house clean and put away.

4. Watching a favorite movie on the couch with the family.

5. Listening to my teenage son read aloud passages from the sports statistics book I have just given him.

What makes you happy?
