happy list

Hello all! 
I continue to make exuses for not posting in the past week or so.  What can I say?  It's summer.  I actually feel like going back to school will be less stressful than right now.  Of course, I say that and in two months I will probably be complaining about how jam-packed my life is.

To stop myself before I complain anymore about my amazing summer, I have an activity for anyone who might be interested.  I was in Wilmington the last 3 days, visiting my old roommate Kristen, who's the bomb.  As I was looking around her room at all the magazine cut outs that formerly covered the cenderblock walls of our dorm room, I noticed a list she had posted of natural highs in life.  I later ran into a similar list on two of my favorite blogs.  Deciding this was a sign from God, I've created my own list as a reminder of the wonderful little moments in life that make it good in this crazy world.

1. getting things in the mail, especially magazines.  and shoes.

2. watching all of The Lord of the Rings movies and remembering how amazing brilliant JRR Tolkein was.

3. singing Disney songs at the top of my lungs in the car.

4. finishing a run.

5. looking at old pictures.

6. pine knoll shores beach.

7. catching someone looking at you differently.

8. dancing and performing in front of anyone.

9. thinking about how much life I still have left to live.

10. listening to a really awesome new song.

11. playing with my doggy.

12. eating fudge tracks ice cream.

13. laughing so hard you don't need to do crunches.  and your cheeks hurt.

14. watching people open presents.

15. waking up from a good sleep with the sun coming in.

16. knowing God has an awesome plan for me.

17. licking cake batter off mixers.

Definitely a good reminder for those gloomier days.  Anybody else have some additional happy moments?  Feel free to share (:
