The Happy List

As I sit and start to write this post, it's Easter Sunday and yet it does not feel like Easter at all. The weather is gorgeous and egg hunts and bunnies are all around, Easter doesn't have that special feeling that it normally does. There are no formal sunrise services, no getting dressed up in your Sunday best and no family coming over to celebrate with food and laughter. This year Easter is different, families are celebrating over Zoom and Facetime; low key celebrations and creating new unique traditions. I am currently baking a cake and sitting in my pajamas thinking about how my family has their health, we are together with a roof over our head, food in our pantry and we are safe. We, as a family, try to always try to look for the bright side of things but this is hard. We are generally happy people and I think we have handled this situation pretty well. We've had some hard days and we have always gotten through them and I thought this post- about what is on your happy list would be perfect for right now especially with what is going on.

Being happy is a state of mind. Even during all of this craziness right now, I am generally happy and I have my days where I'm meh BUT I know and try to remember, that we will be stronger and things will get better after this all passes.  I figured we all could use something that is uplifting today. The Happy List, is something I thought of that would be fun to compile and then to look back on during hard days. This isn't a complete list but its a start.
