What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?
๐ Getting at least eight hours of sleep
๐ Having a hot tea or coffee
๐ Spending some time outside
๐ Watching my favorite show
๐ And most importantlyโฆ
having someone to take care of my baby for a little while,
so I can just sit quietlyโ
even if itโs just for 5 or 20 minutes
These are the five simple things
I somehow manage to get every day.
๐ A Small Clarification
Spending time with my babyโ
๐ that is not something I choose to do
๐ that is not something I โaddโ to my day
๐ That is my life.
I am with my baby 24/7.
That is my everyday.
And writingโ
๐ it is like breathing for me now
It gives me calm and peace,
but still, it is not something I count as a task.
๐ฑ What These Five Things Mean to Me
These five things are not just for happiness.
๐ They feel like a reset button
๐ a small pause
๐ a moment of rejuvenation
They bring me back to myself.
Becauseโ
you know how toddler motherhood is.
Sometimes, even a few quiet minutes
can feel like peace.
