on sundays we make lists no. 3 - what makes me smile

This is week three for the series, on sundays we make lists, a  project designed for fellow list lovers like myself. Get this week's list here.

This week's list is about happiness: what makes us happy...and what we can do to make others happy. As I wrote the list, I was shocked to see how much I hate housework show up...and just how grateful I am when someone else does it for me!

Here's my list (in no particular order):
 

  • puppies on a leash for the first time
  • a meal I don't have to cook
  • candles at dinner time
  • waffles for breakfast
  • hugs
  • sangria with fresh fruit
  • a new journal
  • charm
  • dirty limericks
  • my niece's laugh
  • awkward moments
  • fresh flowers
  • a smile from a stranger
  • handwritten notes
  • mixtapes
  • blowing kisses
  • laughing with a new friend
  • a phone call from a friend
  • someone else doing the dishes
  • blowing kisses
  • hopscotch
  • What I will do this week to make other people smile:

I already smile at strangers, but this week I'll give flowers to a friend, mail a handwritten note and (gulp) take an extra turn doing dishes.

What's on your list? Print yours here and share on twitter or instagram, if you like. Until next week and another list.
