*One of my 2021 goals was to keep a Happiness Highlights journal. I plan on sharing some of my happy moments each month to hold myself accountable. I hope they help you pause and recognize all the great small things that are happening in your life.*
Looking back over all my May Happiness Highlights for the month, I noticed that I listed many things that others might consider a chore or boring routine. Mowing, weeding, and making a trip to the store, all made my list. Believe it or not, all of these things do bring me joy. By focusing on the positive of each task, I can turn something mundane into something I look forward to. Embracing the ordinary things makes each day great!
May Happiness Highlights:
- Extending my garden to include more blueberry and blackberry bushes.
- Camping to celebrate my daughter’s 4th birthday.
- Improving my Disc Golf skills from terrible to not so terrible.
- Quiet bike rides alone.
- My Vinyasa Yoga class.
- Updating my goal tracker using some fun bullet journal ideas.
- Catching up with old friends

A couple of highlights for me this month: celebrating my daughter’s 18th birthday, and getting my garden planted.
Fun! Planting a garden is always enjoyable for me too. I hope everything grows well for you!
I hope so too. Right now we desperately need some rain.
A highlight from me: visiting my family last week (after 6 months) and having high tea together! 🫖
That is a highlight for sure!!
Love your highlights as always, Suzanne! We went for a bike ride on a trail through a park last week, and saw a bunch of kids playing soccer & their parents cheering them on. Some were masked, but most weren’t. Also, I climbed without a mask yesterday for the first time since last June. I am so grateful things are returning to normal here! Hope your area is, too! 🌞
Thanks! 😀Things are getting a little more normal around here too.
My granddaughter made me a necklace with these pretty beads and wove my name through it. It was so normal. It was lovely.
That does sound lovely! Thanks for sharing.😀
