A blog about food, wine, photography, travel, tech, pop culture, and social media...with a little geek thrown in for flavor.

I love to cook, collect and try new recipes. I'm always in search of the perfect meal, the perfect glass of wine, the perfect cup of coffee. Some people eat to live...but I live to eat.

 

What makes you happy?

vasta:

Been thinking a lot about happiness these days, so when I saw this idea come up on out of habit’s blog, I thought it might be a good exercise for me to do.

There are a lot of things that make me happy. So many things. In fact, most things in life make me happy — there’s just so much beauty in the world to marvel at every single moment of every single day.

That being said, if I had to think of five simple things that are making me happy, right now, today, here’s the first four that pop into my head:

  1. Rides in hot air balloons, staring down at the broccoli-like trees, with the bestest of friends.
  2. Buying pretty paper and envelopes (and using this amazing stamp) to write letters to people I love.
  3. Sipping tea in front of my fireplace, wrapped in a blanket, while reading the recent issue of the New Yorker.
  4. Putting pink post-it notes on my wall with countdowns. (11 days!)
  5. Getting and giving hugs. Been a real shortage of that in my life recently.

Those are just the first five that popped into my head. There are many more. What makes you happy?
