Doing something good for ourselves

Sometimes the days seem to get going and before you know it we just live life. I find if I do something good for me and my mom there is a little sunshine in the day. Today I am cooking my moms favorite. Jambalaya. It is just something simple that makes her happy.


Is there anything today that you guys are doing for yourself that give you a little bit of sunshine?

I think every day is about having something to look forward to and doing something that makes you or someone else happy. Today I left the house a little bit early and went to Starbucks. It's the little things in life :)

Kenznoel, I agree a good cup of coffee is such a great start to the day. I use to love going to Starbucks now that I am in SC I would have to go an hour to get to one. I am so glad that you got out and were able to get that yummy cup of coffee. You are right little things makes our days brighter. Plus little things lead to big things. We just have to look out for them.

Hey Badluckandtrouble, I do a cheap jambalaya, I open a can of Margret Homes Jambalaya Fixin 27oz. can add a 28 oz. can of diced tomatoes and add meat. I used a pound of shrimp because it was on sale, but sausages are good too. I add hot sauce to taste (me and my mom love spicy, small amount of onion diced very small and let it cook until it gets a little thick but still saucy. I make sure the meat is cooked good.

It is a lot cheaper than buying all the things that go in it. Plus it taste great.
