Life's Little Luxuries

Hi Everyone! I hope you are all having a fabulous and safe summer! 

Life is pretty crazy these days. It seems like everything is on full speed without any signs of slowing down. From the daily news about world and local affairs, Mother Nature’s outrageous ways and balancing work, family and friends- it can be overwhelming! Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the simple things that make me deeply happy. I think it’s really important to take the time on a daily basis to do something for yourself, someone else and/or appreciate something someone has done for you. It usually doesn’t cost much and feels quite good. These are some of life’s little luxuries that have been making me deeply happy on a daily basis in no particular order:

Cucumber salad w/ yogurt dill sauce-thanks Chris!

 -Walking in the door and having a homemade meal prepared for you by your husband, wife, partner, roommate or parent

-Homemade cucumber salad from our garden (must give full credit to my husband Chris-I have no green thumb)

-Fresh broccoli and cucumbers from our garden

-First Southside of the summer with warm peanuts and corn chips watching the sun go down on the beach

-Gazpacho 

-Breakfast for dinner 

-Instant sans gluten oatmeal that is good for you

-Running the track and bleachers at your old high school and being in better shape now than when you were in high school 

-Going to your friend’s house for a barbeque and everything is naturally sans gluten, fresh and delicious!
