Pink of Perfection July Project

If you haven’t ever been to the Pink of Perfection website, you really need to check it out.  I have been a reader of the Pink of Perfection blog and I was a subscriber to the Pink of Perfection podcast for a while.  Sarah, the creator of the site has issued challenges during each month since January, and this is the first one that I’ve actually accomplished.  I’ve always read the blog and thought “That’s an amazing idea!” and “I’m really going to do this one!”  but I’ve never actually posted or sent anything in about it.  This time is the real deal, and I plan on  continuing in the coming months, because this challenge was so much fun to think about.

Sarah challenged everyone to create a Happiness List and get back to her with thier results.  I haven’t included the basics like my family and friends, because I think that they are a given. (Even when they aren’t so joyous.)

Stampin Sammie’s Happiness List:

     The laughter of a young child.

     The smell of a freshly cooked breakfast, especially when you didn’t have to make it.

     A cold beer on a hot day.

     The absolute euphoria of being in the moment of getting something you’ve waited for. (i.e., a long-awaited party or Christmas morning when you’re a child.)

     Summer nights with the windows open, and a cool breeze coming into your house.

     Fireworks.

     Having time to quietly enjoy your hobbies, and truly being surrounded by them instead of the hustle and bustle of a busy day.

Thank you so much, Sarah.  This project was amazing to think about; and spurned some thoughts about the real joys that fall into my lap every day, especially the ones that I don’t think about nearly enough.

If you haven’t gone to the Pink of Perfection website yet, what are you waiting for?  The wit of the writers and the pure bliss of inspiration awaits you.
