Happiness

One of my really close friends made a really good point to me tonight. He said "Negativity doesn't pull you through to the top" He also said that I used to be one of the most cheery peoples he's ever known and I should find that again. He's right. I definitly need to give up this "glass is half empty thing" and go back to my usual "glass is half full" self.

Here is a small compilation of things that make me happy and giddy and smile and feel all fuzzy inside, for "no" particular reason, simply because I want to tell you:

• Trying to eat the rain
• Dancing in the rain
• Peeling off nail polish
• The color your lips turn after eating a popsicle
• sitting at the edge of a pool with your feet in the water
• driving on a 78-degree day with my sunroof open and a slight breeze dancing in the air
• the smell of gasoline (this makes me sound like a weirdo, I realize)
• the ellipsis...and I HATE it when people call it the "dot dot dot thingy." You fools! Ellipsis is a cool word, so use it!
• walking around in airports ( i love the lady on the intercom that speaks in different languages)
• hot chocolate with handmade whip cream
• kisses on the cheek, by anyone
• dancing like there's no tomorrow
• tapping on windows after you've gotten a manicure or have considerably long nails
• watching movies that scare the hell out of me...god, why do I find joy from this?
• the sound ice cubes make in a glass full of water
• running through a field with really high grass
• getting and receiving hugs
• glasses...and guys that look cute in them
• talking with a friend over a cup of coffee
• that moment in the movie theater when the room darkens and the movie is about to begin
• the curve before the big dip in the rollercoaster
• Bollywood movies with the sappy songs and sappy endings
• Talking to long lost friends
• laughing so hard that your face and tummy hurts
• getting long distance phone calls
• getting lost in a really good book that you stay up all night reading
• when someone plays with my hair
• peanut butter and banana sandwiches
• babies giggling
• when babies grab one of ur fingers with their whole hand
• Fairy tales [Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast]
• Ok, so this list is getting a little long...so I'll stop. And yes, I know I'm a weirdo, it's just the way I am. But I have one more thing to add: Watching Romeo and Juliet (with Leo) and inserting myself into Claire Danes character...oh yes, that definitely makes me happy!

I have more...but I think this list is good for now :-D
