Things that make me happy

So I've been saving up pictures of a few things that make me happy (aside from my wonderful family and friends, of course). Who knows, maybe this will be an ongoing blog series!

I've started painting a bit again. This is quite different from what most of you probably think of painting- I use kid paint, big brushes, and large pieces of paper (the one below is abt 3 feet tall by 5 feet wide). I just love mixing the different colors.


I've been taking the commuter rail into work 1 day a week. Each time I ride, the conducter punches a hole in the 12-ride pass. Apparently each conducter has a different hole punch, and I love seeing what the newest one is.

And finally, my Whole Foods recyclable bags. I used to feel awful about how many plastic bags we used shopping, and then they'd overflow in our closet. So I finally went out and bought a whole bunch of recyclable bags. They're so pretty and environmentally friendly, and I feel so happy to not be wasting plastic bags.
