Today I decided to treat myself to an Oreo cookie with milk. It makes me really happy instantly and it reminds me of my childhood. Right away as I hold the cookie in my hand I start to smile. I love the look of the cookie and as soon as I take a bit it has the perfect combination of crunchiness and softness. When I dunk it and drink some milk it makes a delightful movement in my mouth. I take a deep breath in and out and enjoy the taste and smell of my treat. There is something about milk that reminds me of my ancestry in the Netherlands. My grandparents had a farm with animals, so I feel extra happy and connected to my country. Plus I love cows. Funny enough my daughter also loves cowes. Somehow I realize how the little things you enjoy in life is often connected to your past. Now I share the experience with my children and that tradition gets repeated. So today I invite you to do something that makes you smile and increase your happiness factor. It can be as simple as eating a cookie:)
