These are a few of my favorite things..


I've been kinda stressed out over some stupid stuff the past week or two, so I've been trying to think of things that make me happy whenever I'm about to explode, just to keep my mind off everything. I started off making a mental list, but then it kept getting longer and longer, so I figured I'd write down what I could think of. Here are my top 50, in no particular order :D



1. Laughing so hard you start to cry

2. My family


3. The smell of homemade bread


4. Anything bright and colorful


5. Sitting by the fire first thing in the morning during winter


6. Snuggies


7. Music that seems like it was made just for me


8. Being in nature - when its not a billion degrees outside


9. Anything crafty


10. Getting butterflies in my stomach


11. When someone truly smiles - the kind of smile that you can see in their eyes that brightens anything around


12. Old, broken down houses and cars - they have so much character!


13. Driving the 303 while the sun is setting


14. The smell of winter


15. Dreams that feel cometely real
