1)Coffee! – This is such a hard thing for me to kick to the curb, due to my preference being the sweeter coffees like Dutch Bros. Even if I had a rough night’s sleep which is pretty regular at this point, knowing I have coffee to enjoy in the morning cheers me up greatly.

2)Books! – Whether it is the Bible, or a comfy eBook, I love having different options to dive into depending on my mood and attention span. This is why I have such a large TBR, as it gives me happiness figuring out what to read next.

3)Videogames! – Right now, I have gotten into more PC gaming including Steam and browser games. A couple of my cozy games have recently updated which is always a fun time seeing all the new content that has been added. Incremental games have also been catching my eye recently, as they are highly addicting due to the expanded skill trees and simple mechanics.

4)Food! – Being a Southerner, food has always been a huge part of celebrating birthdays and holidays, so I have that cheerful association always in my mind. Being able to cook decent food myself brings me a separate joy as I can unashamedly share my food with others.

5)Sweets! – This one is obviously a bit of a double-edged sword. I have cut back on my sugar intake but man, I do love me some homemade desserts. Heck, even store-bought cookies and breads can be delicious in their own right 🙂
