April 12's 10 Things to Be Happy About

1. Baby Bird Time - I always love this! One year they made a nest on top of one of our outdoor lights by our front door and when the baby birds were born we could go look at them until they were able to fly away. It was really cool to watch them grow so fast!

2. Divergent Thinking - It's always better to think of all of the possibilities and outcomes when you do something. Most people do the first thing that comes to mind which is why people get hurt by what is said a lot of the time. Divergent thinking is a wonderful thing and if you can use it all the time, you're set in life!

3. Crested Butte's Trails - Apparently this is in Colorado and they are amazing bike trails that people love to use. If you are a mountain biker I would recommend going here. I'm sure my dad would love this because he loves to bike so much.

4. Scents From a Garden Full of Herbs - Anything smelling like herbs is a wonderful thing. I don't care if I'm in a garden or in a kitchen where someone is using them to cook or bake. It is a wonderful smell and it gives food taste instead of being something that tastes awfully bland.

5. Tabby Cats - Most people when they see this think of orange tabby cats but I have a gray tabby cat. I feel that most people think that most cats are tabby cats but there are actually many kinds. I miss my cat when I'm not at home.

6. Pure White Shutters - As opposed to an off white?

7. Spontaneity - I think that this is a wonderful thing because you never know what can come out of spontaneity. It is fun to surprise people and spontaneity in situations make them that much more fun to deal with.

8. Your College Roommate - I loved my roommate sophomore year. My roommate freshman year was interesting. I once walked in on her drying her hair stark naked. It was very embarrassing. It was in the middle of the year so I think by that time she should have known that I took short showers. My roommate this year has also been interesting...I'm so excited to have single for my senior year!

9. Vintage Necklaces - It is always interesting to see what you can find in vintage stores. The necklaces are a big part of something that I enjoy. I got a necklace from my grandmother that she got when she was my age and I love it!

10. "Welcome Home" Flowers - I feel like people only get these if they are coming home after being in the hospital or something like that. I guess that would make me smile. When I got my surgery last year I got welcome home flowers that also said feel better so I guess I'm all for them!
