We asked the very simple question "What few things are actually making you HAPPY these days?" Some answers were serious, some were simple and some were just funny.

Here's a good sampling of the "happiness" responses:

  • Getting my second Covid shot - hoping we get normal again!
  • 1) handheld burr coffee grinder, 2) broader discussion of social policies that will help more people in need (not just greedy capitalists), 3) lo-fi indie rock with female vocalists
  • Palm trees, sunshine & sand
  • Skiing, music, helping clients close on an awesome house!
  • Family, dogs, walks, chocolate covered gummy bears
  • My VW buses, Brazilian friends, Whiskey
  • The Sunday Brunch with Elle Fine, my terrier Reggie, and a good audible story to listen to while creating stained glass.
  • Fresh air and sunshine
  • My great new job after losing my last job to Covid! And cereal. I love it right now! LOL
  • Sleeping through the night
  • Fly fishing and my nephew
  • Mostly wine. And my dog
  • Yoga

  • Skiing on Saturdays, Walking my dog, Reading, Finding new podcasts, Trying new recipes
