Twelve

I told you earlier to get back to me when we were in single digits... well, it's not quite that yet, but it's getting CLOSE!

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.
