My bliss list. What's yours?

A magazine I read a couple months ago had a page about carving out me time, specifically, about creating and writing a bliss list -- special treats for yourself designed to help you automatically have more energy. The piece stems from a book called, "Everyday Bliss for Busy Women: Energy Balancing Secrets for Complete Health & Vitality,"Maryam Webster. Webster is the director of The Energy Coach Institute. I saw another book out recently by energy coach Kimberly Kingsley.

As a mother, I am always lacking energy and, ironically, me time. I love the idea of meeting one need in order to fulfill the other.

As I return to work and juggle the work-life balance, I want to keep this personal list of simple pleasures handy. I will not be running out the door when the Husband gets home anymore because I will have missed my girls all day.

These little things that bring me happiness, though, are easy to fit into a day, especially once I start getting up earlier to beat the toddler clock.

Here's my list.

1. Chocolate
2. A crisp, clean Chardonnay
3. A sweet Riesling
4. Sitting outside on a quiet morning
5. Nature walking
6. Yoga to energizing, but relaxing music -- or with my girls
   
7. Clean sheets
8. Daydreaming
9. Meditation
10. Planning just about anything
11. Browsing bookstores -- used and new
12. This candle
13. Take out and a video with hubby (if he doesn't fall asleep!)
14. Listening to music
15. Going to bed early
    

How about you? What's on your bliss list?
