Hmmm… off the top of my head: having a trip to look forward to, good hair days, baby goats, the perfectly made chai latte (hot or cold depending on the weather), a complimentary polish color on my toe nails (they are currently a teal color and I’m not okay with it…), driving with the windows down, and talking with my momma. 🙂
