Things that make me happy

Somebody once told me that you should do something that makes you happy every day and I feel like its a good philosophy. Here is a random list of things that make me happy on a semi regular basis in no particular order.

-The smell of warm bread/toast- the weather (rain, snow and sunshine in particular)- Greek style yogurt- dancing- running- chips and salsa- laughing- cuddling in warm blankets- singing on the top of my lungs with the windows of my car rolled down- blood- comfortable old jeans- light up little boy shoes- ballet flats- swimming- the puffs of condensation that form when its really cold outside- The smell of wood- the smooth feel of my teeth after I've brushed them- getting lost in a book- having a really good conversation with someone you care about- my pet fish- naps on the couch or in the sunshine- the quiet- the same quiet filled with good music- jujitsu- snowboarding- wearing my favorite fragrance just so I can smell my wrists- stretching- playing the piano- fruit smoothies- the stars- walking barefoot in the grass- puddle jumping- playing with kids- smiling- week off- puzzles- solitaire- cooking- the smell of clean laundry- ribbons or flowers in my hair- fun earrings- the smell of old books- realizing you've learned something you didn't think you were all that good at- frisbee- flowers- really nice pens at work- sliding across the floor- photo albums and pictures in general- trees- mountains- my winter coat- holding a warm mug of something- spider webs (not located in the house)- candles- skype- facebook- phonecalls from a friend- friends- family- the gospel (and all aspects of it)

This is just a shallow look at some of the things that brighten my day. I hope you can see all of the awesome things God has blessed you with and be happy about something every day because really, this world is spectacular.
