• researching cakes. And discovering this blog with wonderful recipes, often featuring some kind of  crunch, because texture. 
• The sheer (and queer) awesomeness of SHE-RA. The theme alone will put a smile on my face these days.  

• rewatching Yuri on Ice 
  a lot of love for all the ice dancing and of course the adorable relationship between Yuri and Victor
• the fascinatingly helpful (and interesting) "Anxiety: Meditations on the anxious mind" 

• this duck
• this illustration from "The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse"
• normalizing anxiety with Be more chill. This is good. This too.

There are so many small and big things that I experience throughout a year and I would like to be better at remembering the things that gave me high levels of endorphines, even if it was only for a brief moment. There are so many books, tv shows, board games and food items that make me smile and make me want to shout to the world (or at least the potentially interested people in my circle of friends).

I tend to be a little late to the party on some things, so there is a solid possibilty that a lot of the things that I mention will be a couple years old, but if you are anything like me you'll also enjoy thinking about things that you loved a couple years ago.

This is inspired by the absolutely wonderful podcast Pop Culture Happy Hour and their weekly list of things making them happy that week.

I tried this last year and stopped after 4 entries. Going for 8 this year. You have to start small. Once more, with feeling.
