Before we go to sleep each night DH and I cuddle and talk about the best parts of our day. This serves a dual purpose of helping us reconnect at the end of each day (no baby, no electronics, no distractions, just us) and putting happy thoughts into our heads before bed. I don't go to bed stressing about something crappy that happened, I go to bed thinking about good things that happened.
They aren't always big events, either. Sometimes I like to think about the small, under-appreciated good parts of my day, the things that happen almost daily that I often overlook as being part of a routine. I was thinking about some of these last night as I slipped into a bath before bed.
-I love that first moment of slipping into a hot bath for the first time. It's often accompanied by an audible sigh of pleasure.
-A well-made cup of coffee. Good in the morning, when I need it, better in the afternoon, when E is asleep and I have some me time.
-A sleepy that cuddles up to me during a MOTN feeding, looks me in the eye and smiles a sleepy, loving smile.
-Petting a content cat who has made a home in my lap.
-Slipping into clean sheets after a hot shower.
What are some small things you love that you don't think about much?
