Happy Monday

Here are a few bits of my happiness

Happy Monday

I've always been one of those people that don't have to look far for happiness. I was blessed with that special ability to just see it in people, places, animals, and even certain items. I know that some people have trouble with darkness, and feel that there is no happiness in the world. Here are a couple of reminders that there is so much happiness out there.

Happiness is:

the sun shinning, playing in the rain, eating salty french fries, sleeping on fresh sheets, having your toes in the sand, giving someone a gift and watching their face light up, drinking lemonade, going to a music festival, seeing the first snow of winter, coming home and telling your brother about your day, warm blankets, playing with puppies, kissing someone you love, going hiking, visiting your friend at her new school, holding a baby, putting on an old pair of cleats, napping, eating cotten candy, going to the zoo, watching someone grow, getting ready with your best friend, praying, socks, hammocking, sonic slushies, riding on an airplane, opening new makeup, visiting your grandparents, taking your hair down after a long day, painting, understanding your homework and having an unconditional love.

I could go on and on.

But that's just my list. You have to make your own, and look for small bits of happiness every day. You belong here. You belong on this earth. There are so many people that love you. Just look up, feel the sunshine, pet a dog, and breathe. Every day, you should look at it as one day at a time. You'll get through the darkness and find the path. Just keep going. Don't forget to pray about it.

Happy Monday!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
