Feel Good Post: Making A List...

I would venture to say that we are pretty similar, you and I. Let's make a connection.

Goals. We are all supposed to have them. Some private, some public. I put my goals down in list form. Maybe you do too. I enjoy making lists. I always have. The problem is, my lists have lists. 

Below are titles of a few of my lists. I have 87 total on my iPhone (gasp):

Goals
Musically Challenged-music I need to download/check into and see if they should be downloaded. I consider myself musically sheltered so my aim to know all kinds and when I share my music I want everyone to have a good time 
Visit-Places all over the world
Ten Things That Make Me Happy
Next Paycheck-What I need/want next time I have money-this was very helpful in college to prioritize the little I had
Dan's Shopping List-Dan even tells me what he needs to buy next
Ideas
Quotes-helps me narrate my FB albums after fun times with friends...if you say something brilliant I will write it down and quote you later
Garden-Plants that I could keep alive...maybe 
Gift Ideas-head start on Christmas, nobody look at my phone-ADRIENNE! Erika told me about your snooping-for-present-ways 
Names-future baby names, this may be my oldest list :)
Fun Stuff To Do
Teacher Ideas-I still dream about being a teacher 

Today I will share my Ten Things That Make Me Happy List:

1. Dan-Among other great things, he looks really good when he weed whacks. Don't tell him I told you. He will be embarrassed...  and weirded out that I took pictures of him without him knowing...of him weed whacking. 


2. Reality TV
'reality' tv



3. Nail Polish- It doesn't even have to be on ME; collecting bottles, seeing other people's nails. I just love it. 
Summer nails!



4. New apparel

Fist Pump


5.  Music/being the DJ

'Call Your Girlfriend' Robyn/ Erato cover by Lennon & Maisy Stella


6. Buying pieces for the house, decorating




7. Party Planning/Executing


Clear 2 liter bottle + water + glow sticks + ball = night time bowling!


8. Being Crafty

Before

Middle Stage, waiting to hang the horns-Saw 'em off!


I was going to use chain but gave up and used twine to hold the horns. 


9. Cooking new recipes or just cooking in general. The way to my heart is food so I try to get to others that way too. This is a Prosciutto, Asparagus and Parmesan Spaghetti. It is super easy and fast and wayyyy delicious

10. Lily. Enough said. 

I forget who I am sometimes.  Days go by and you get lost in the shuffle. I made this list in July. I felt better. I know what I like, for the most part, and that's a pretty good thing. 

Maybe if you're feeling a little down today, write down your ten things that make you happy. I think it will make you smile.
