Running a 5K?

March 11's 10 Things to Be Happy About

1. The Wish of Being Stranded on a Desert Island - If it is in a tropical climate then I'm all for it as long as I can bring along my iPod and some bug spray because apparently bugs really like to eat me. If you were deserted on a desert island what are the two things you would bring?

2. Lobster Bibs - Having one of these when you eat lobster is a wonderful safety net because otherwise the butter dripping off of your chin into your lap. The bib will save you from a major mess to clean up later because it's disposable.

3. Ham Salad on White Bread - I can't say that I've ever had a ham salad and I'm more of a fan of wheat bread because it's so much more healthy for you.

4. Running a 5K - Just one comment...why would this make anyone happy??? Except for those people who run for a sport, who I actually think are nuts! I guess if you got a time on the 5K then it could make you happy but I would never enjoy it or get a good time on it so it doesn't really matter either way.

5. Rocks Eroded by Rivers - The fact that rivers and oceans have the power and ability to erode rocks and make amazing designs is really awesome. The picture at the beginning of this post is a great example of how the waves of the ocean have eroded this rock into the amazing sculpture that it is now and it is preserved because this beach is untouched by developers.

6. Telling Your Best Joke - I honestly don't have many amazing jokes that leave you with a side stitch because you laughed so hard but I do enjoy hearing other people's funny jokes so that I can laugh. Laughing is good for the soul and it helps you to live longer.

7. Family Fun Night - Every night with my family is family fun night because we love spending time together. It is also nice to spend time with my boyfriend's family because they are fun as well. Some of the conversation we have when spending time together are truly entertaining whether it be with his family or my own. I'm just glad that I enjoy spending time with my family because I know people who hate spending time with their families!

8. Learning an Interesting Fact - People are supposed to learn something new everyday so actually learning something that interests them is even better. I try to learn something new everyday and still being in school helps to make that a little easier. Also being a teacher as a profession I will hopefully help to learn some new teaching techniques as I go through the profession.

9. Pulling the Curtains Open - Pulling them open to reveal warm sunshine is always a wonderful sensation. But if you open them to rain it's a little more sad.

10. What You Pray For - Everyone has something different to pray for whether it be a new bicycle or a family member or friend to feel better. Praying is also good for the soul.
