Reassuring Ritual

April 18's 10 Things to Be Happy About

1. Jeans, Sweater, Flip-Flops - Who doesn't love when this sort of weather finally comes out. I'd rather be wearing a tshirt but that's besides the point. I do love the weather that is finally going to come!

2. Hot Buttered Biscuits and Ham - Always Easter dinner at Lolly's house. I love her rolls, they are absolutely amazing. With a little bit of my other grandmother's jam smeared on top, it makes the best homemade meal ever!

3. An Introductory Offer - We need to start somewhere right?

4. A Week off From School - All of the grade schools are currently on their week breaks or were last week and they are so lucky. I wish that every school gave the same week off because then it would make it a lot easier for me to visit friends at home.

5. Astonishing Revelations - Everyone has them from time to time when you realize something that is completely obvious or completely hidden in life. I think that hitting these points where you figure these things out are pretty cool.

6. Driving Golf Balls - I think that I am absolutely awful at this you can ask almost anyone who's seen me play. I'm more of a tennis player. I am more of the kind of girl who hacks the golf ball across the course and the groundskeepers would probably hate me if I was allowed to play.

7. Setting Achievable Goals - I personally think that you need to start small so that you can build things up and reach higher goals. Pretty much these are subgoals that help you achieve greater goals.

8. Knowing Where Your Dog Is - Currently my dog is on the floor in my family room and wanting to go play outside in the beautiful weather. I wish that she wouldn't roll around after being cleaned by the kennel. She smelled so wonderful when I brought her home the other day.

9. A Reassuring Ritual - I think that every family or group of friends has some sort of ritual that they go through many times a year just to stay connected. For example my best friend's family and mine always go out to a movie on either Christmas Eve or New Years Eve. It's always a lot of fun to do with them and it reassures me that we are still close friends along with our parents.

10. Dormitories - The only good thing about living in a dormitory is that you don't have to clean your own bathroom and you don't have to worry about making your meals because they are served in the cafe, no matter how awful the food is.
