On this happy note, I thought I'd make a list of things that send me into orbit:
-A cup of coffee in the morning, poured into a specifically chosen cup, fitted to my mood
-Thunderstorms
-When Cami tells me she loves me
-Being curled up on the couch with a fire blazing
-When someone gives me a unique compliment
-Walks with my parents
-The feeling of packed sand beneath my toes when I'm standing on a beach at sunset
-70% cocoa chocolate bars
-A new journal
-Printing out a term paper and holding to my bosom like a newborn child
-The smell of vanilla brown sugar lotion from Bath and Body Works
-Getting a letter from my grandma
-The moment in the middle of exercising when I think, "I could do this for much longer!"
-When I open the Bible and the verse that I read is perfect for me at that exact moment
-An email, phone call, skype call, facebook message, facebook graffiti or any sort of communication from my boyfriend
-A big bowl of pasta; yum... carbs
-The smell of a campfire
-Waiting at the airport for someone to suddenly appear in sight
-Holding a plane ticket and a suitcase in my hand
-Watching people get married
-Babies giggling
-Water coloring
That is, in no way, a complete list. However, I think that sometimes, we have to make a point to think about the great things all around us. I may get down in the next few days but I want to have a place where I can come and read about the things that send me soaring.
