Happiness50 Day 232 (9/9/26)

Being back in my regular Wednesday evening yoga class made me happy.

Happiness50 Day 231 (9/8/26)

(Oops, forgot yesterday!)

Kim has a couple friends who spend a lot of time at our house: Tayona and Xavier. Tayona turned 19 last week, but due to some miscommunication, we didn’t end up celebrating with her. Xavier turned 21 yesterday, and Matt made sure to ask him where he wanted to go to dinner. He chose a very good, but very loud, Italian-American place I had never heard of called Grazie Nonna. It made me happy that we could celebrate with him (especially since he hadn’t planned to celebrate at all!) and buy him his first legal drink (a glass of Chianti, naturally).

Happiness50 Day 230 (9/7/26)

A gorgeous day capping off a gorgeous-weather long weekend staycation made me happy.

Happiness50 Day 229 (9/6/26)

It made me happy that I spent the hottest, sunniest part of the day walking around the Baltimore Inner Harbor and didn’t get sunburned at all.

Happiness50 Day 228 (9/5/26)

Today I was happy to meet a very happy baby named Spirit. She certainly lives up to her name!

Happiness50 Day 227 (9/4/26)

I was happy spending the day in Annapolis with Matt and his parents.

Happiness50 Day 226 (9/3/26)

I was happy at 4:00pm today that my extra-long weekend/mini-staycation had officially started.

Happiness50 Day 225 (9/2/26)

I was happy that I left my office with no work hanging over my head today.

Happiness50 Day 224 (our 19th wedding anniversary)

I’m happy to have spent the last 19 years married to Matt and for the great dinner we had at Thompson Italian tonight.

Happiness50 Day 223 (8/31/26)

After a tense weekend of not speaking to each other, I’m happy Matt and Kim made up today.
