H A P P Y

Lately I have been feeling very down and out. Very lonely. Very not myself. Very discontent. However, instead of dwelling on it I think it is much better to think about and appreciate the things that bring me joy. So, with an idea from rockstar diaries, I present to you my happy list.

15 Things That Make Me Terribly Happy

in no particular order

1. Everything that has to do with fall.
2. Forehead kisses.
3. The smell before rain.
4. Bright lipstick. (even if I'm too chicken to wear it myself)
4. The feeling you get right after your first kiss with someone new.
5. Little, thoughtful, texts and messages from friends just to tell you they love you, and returning the favor.
6. Getting completely sucked into a good book.
7. Genuine and meaningful compliments.
8. Watching the sunrise over the ocean with sleepy eyes and sand between my toes.
9. Sappy love stories ala The Notebook and Titanic.
10. A good nights sleep.
11. Mini road trips with one of my best friends.
12. Songs that bring up a hundred different emotions at once, the kind that "get you".
13. The cute little "thinking of you" cards my grandparents send my about once a week, and have been sending me since I moved into my apartment.
14. Driving with the windows down, the music up, and the wind in my hair with the sun beating down.
15. A good hug.
