Do you ever think about the little things in your day-to-day life that make your day juuust a little better?
For me, some of those things are:
A hot cup of coffee in a pretty mug. Honestly, isn’t that the best thing in the morning? The thought of that first cup makes getting up early worthwhile! And I swear a nice mug elevates the experience! I also totally bribe myself with coffee to get my workout out of the way first.
Fresh bread + butter. Do I need to say more? I finally baked sourdough bread again last weekend – after a somewhat forced hiatus – and the first slice was so delicious.
My bed. We have a TempurPedic, which is over 10 years old now, and it still feels like a brand-new mattress. It’s one of the best purchases we’ve ever made.
Waking up without an alarm. I usually get up pretty early and call myself a “morning person”, but the truth is, I do not like the ‘getting up’ part that much. I am not one of the people that are “awake when they are awake”. I can easily fall back to sleep if you would just let me. So it’s definitely a little luxury to allow my body to wake up without an alarm whenever I can (which hasn’t been very often lately, but I did sleep in last Monday!).
A sweaty workout. I might not always feel like it, but I 100% feel so much better when I move my body, preferably in the morning. I feel so accomplished before I even start my work day.
An episode (or two) of Friends. If everything else fails, watching Friends will pick me up like nothing else. Always.
Reading. It’s so nice to escape into a good story and forget everything around you. I have to admit, the last few weeks were so busy that I didn’t pick up my book very often, but reading blog posts during NaBloPoMo counts, amirite?
Cooking a satisfying meal. I really look forward to our dinner in the evening, especially now that soup season is here. There’s nothing more comforting than a hot bowl of homecooked, nutritious, and delicious soup in the evening.
A nice pen. I usually jot things down during the day… on a notepad or in my planner. I enjoy writing not with just any pen, but my favorite pen (which currently is the Pentel R.S.V.P. Fine* ball point pen). Do you have a favorite pen?
What is one of your little everyday luxuries?
