It's the Little Things

Lately I've been trying to keep in mind all of the little things that make me happy. I've been super busy with work and school, and it's been a way to make me smile. So here is a few things that make me smile.

1. Clemson's reflection pond

As a water sign, I've always loved being next to the water. To me it is one of the most wonderful places to be. I can't tell you how many times I have went and sat next to the pond when I was either upset or stressed or just needed to sit and breath for like two seconds. With fall coming it's going to be even better, Clemson's campus is absolutely beautiful during the fall and it's one of the best times to sit next to the pond, it isn't too hot and normally isn't too cold. My favorite thing about it right now is that it's orange....I'm still not sure if Clemson decided to do this or if it was a prank, but either way it's brilliant.

2. My puppy

I love that my puppy meets me at the door when I get home. He's always super excited to see me. Just this morning I went and walked him and then he just laid on my chest and slept there until I had to wake up again. I love my puppy...I couldn't ask for a better dog :)

3. Spending Time with Charlie

I love that Charlie and I can just lay in the bed and talk for hours.  It's usually about nothing at all, but just to lay in his arms and talk, it feels amazing. You don't get that very often in a guy.  It makes me smile just thinking about it.

4. My sister

I always get super excited when I see a text, phone call, or Facebook message from Beth.  I love her with all of my heart. If you want to know more about how much I love my sister, look at my last blog post.

5. Music

I love music. A good artist always says what you don't know how to say. You can always find a song that says exactly how you feel at that moment in life.  When I say always, I mean always.

6. Law and Order: SVU

What an odd thing right? What I really mean is that I love to sit there with a warm cup of coffee and watch Law and Order: SVU all. day. long. And trust me I have....I just got Netflix for this specific reason. 

7. My family.

Of course my family in general makes me happy.  I love them and they have always been there for me whether it was to make me laugh or help me get through whatever I'm going through. They are freakin amazing!  

8. Friends.

Friends. They're amazing! Enough said!

9.  Curling up with a cup of coffee and watching a good movie
One of the best feelings in the world is sitting on the couch wrapped up in a blanket with a good cup of coffee and watching a movie. It always makes me feel warm and cozy inside.  It just makes me fell happy.  It's one of the happiest feelings in the world.

10. Dancing with myself
I love to just dance by myself....I love to let loose and act like an idiot...usually it will be in private, but not always, I dance a lot at work too. One of my favorite memories growing up is when my aunt caught me dancing in my room. I was 14 and sooooo embarrassed.  A couple of mornings later I heard someone in my room while I was asleep.  I woke up and saw her putting up a mirror in my room.  She looked at me and said, "I was just making you a dance studio." I went through a lot growing up, and I think dancing by myself got me through a lot of it. I highly recommend it.
