What You Have

Wednesday's 10 Things to Be Happy About

1. Hand Lotion that Really Works - This is always a wonderful thing because in the winter who really wants dry hands? My mom gave me this new stuff that is supposed to work really well so we'll see how that goes.

2. Follow-Through - When someone follows through on something whether it be you or someone doing it for you it always feels wonderful because then you don't have to worry about it anymore. If someone doesn't follow through then most people are just pissed and so it is a happy thing when people do follow through.

3. A New Cookbook - These are always fun to look for to see if there is something in your extensive cookbook that you don't already have. I love trying new recipes along with using the ones I've had for years because it adds some variety to your meals.

4. Supper at a Pub - Usually they have pretty decent food but if there's smoking in that specific pub I'm out of there. I think that it's disgusting that people want smoke around their food!

5. Bottles of Chamomile or Clove Shampoo - Any kind of shampoo that makes my hair soft is enough for me. I love soft hair and that always makes me happy.

6. Aromas from Baking - I love walking into my house after dad bakes an apple pie because it smells absolutely delicious! Althought the smell of chocolate chip cookies is also wonderful!

7. Exchanging Gossip - This can never lead to a good thing. Even though it's fun when it's not about you but when something goes wrong and someone hears what you've been doing you're pretty much screwed.

8. Having a Spirit Guide - I don't believe in this because I know that things happen for a reason and God is guiding me throughout life. If I did believe in it it would be pretty cool though.

9. The Thrill of Danger - I love an adrenaline rush which is why doing crazy dangerous things have always been fun for me. My sister actually told my best friend's mom once that I was a rebel child because I enjoyed doing dangerous things and the best part was trying to not get caught. While that's died down a little I do still enjoy the thrill of doing some things that are a little on the dangerous side.

10. Relishing What You Already Have - Most people don't realize that they have more than others. For example when I was in high school there was a girl on my tennis team who complained all the time about how her mom had to borrow her car. All I could think was at least you have a car. I was stuck using my parents car until sophomore year of college. Be happy with what you have and if you want something more work for it and you'll get there!
