I don’t usually participate in chain posts, where one person challenges others with a question or topic but, since I have not been feeling that great lately, I decided to give it a try and write a post as an answer to Ana’s post in MILK, which was, in itself, an answer to this other post in Pano p’ra Mangas. So some things that make me happy are:

1. Donna Hay Magazine: this is my favorite magazine ever, I like the photography and the text. And yes, I usually read most of the recipes.
2. The ocean: I know, I know, I used to live less than an hour away from it while growing up and I would try to weasel out of going to the beach every chance I could. Big mistake…
3. My dogs: I have three little pugs. They are a little bit of work but every time they look at me, I am rewarded for all that effort. Pugs rule!!!
4. Thrift shops: it is just interesting to see what people bought and discarded, yes, my middle name should be Snoopy.
5. Tea: I drink tea all the time and I even make my own tea sometimes using dried pomegranate rind, fresh lemon zest, or dried cherry stems.
