By now I'm sure we have all seen the video of the Chewbacca lady as her video got more than 141 million views. There were follow up videos as well, and we learn that her contagious laugh shows us how she feels when she purchased the Chewbacca mask at Kohl's.
Here is a list of the things that make me happier than the Chewbacca Lady:
1. Puppies
Whether I am driving down the highway and I see a puppy in a car or I see one walking down the street, nothing makes me happier than seeing their cute, lovable, faces and their wagging tails.
2. Warm sunny weather
With all the rain, it's finally nice to see some warm and even hot humid days. As much as it has constantly been raining I won't be complaining about the heat or humidity for quite a while.
3. Waking up and realizing you are home alone
You can put on music and dance like no one is watching, literally. This rarely happens anymore, but it sure feels good knowing the whole house is yours even if its only for an hour. It's a mood booster.
4. Having a solo concert in my car with all my favorite music
There is just something about rocking out to your music by yourself or with a friend that just puts you in a good mood. Makes you happy. Whether it's the dopamine that is released or the songs that are playing either way it has a way of making me happy.
5. Spending the whole day at Hobby Lobby
I'm not someone who spends their time wasted in a store especially if I know what I need. I like to get in and get out, yet with that being said there is just something about Hobby Lobby that I could spend the whole day just walking through each and every aisle. There is so many things in there that speak to me and what I love and I would have no shame spending the whole day at Hobby Lobby.
6. Getting new art supplies
Being someone who likes art and makes art nothing is better than getting new paint brushes, or another sketch pad, or trying something new and getting pastels for the first time. Whatever it is, purchasing some sort of art supplies is what puts a smile on my face and the smile stays there as I think about what I'm going to use it for and when I actually use it.
7. "Finding Nemo" and "Finding Dory"
"Finding Nemo" is probably my favorite movie and watching it makes me happy, and knowing that "Finding Dory" is right around the corner to be released is exciting news!
8. Having a day off of work
Whether you wake up knowing you are off work or you mistakenly walk into work and realize you don't work that day, your mood improves. Don't get me wrong, I love where I work but when the weather starts getting good I don't want to be stuck inside every day.
9. Baseball games
A girl who grew up around baseball, its in my blood to enjoy baseball games. Any baseball games, major league, little, or major league. Baseball is baseball and I could sit and watch baseball games everyday.
This are the few things that make me happier than the Chewbacca Lady and like she said "it's the simple joys in life."
