Day 7: What Makes You Happy
I consider myself a generally optimistic and happy person, so there are a LOT of things that make me happy. I love being happy! I cry faster from happiness than I do from sadness. Even being happy makes me happy. Here are some things that make me happy (in no particular order):
>When things work out the way you hoped they would.
>When things don't work out the way you hoped they would, but then you find out that God has a better plan for it all.
>My God, Jesus, and His holy presence in my life.
>My friends and family and spending time with them.
>4 AM conversations.
>Blankets.
>My dog, Penny and the way she barks and wags her tail and responds so intuitively to so many things.
>Animals in general.
>MUSIC. I love music so much! If I had the choice to breathe oxygen or breathe music, I would choose music.
>Making up dumb songs about the things I'm doing.
>Movies and theatre.
>Meeting new people.
>Teaching.
>Asking God to grant me a glimpse of the way He sees the world or the people around me, and when He lets me.
>God loves me. And God never loves me, or anyone ever created, any less for anything we ever do.
>Faith, and the fact that I have it.
>Thunderstorms.
>The sea.
>Days when it's 90 degrees and humid outside.
>Learning something new.
>Being able to understand someone else's views without having to adopt them as my own.
>Reading, and everything related to it.
>When my hair does just what I want it to, or something cooler, without any real effort.
>Being barefoot.
>Smiling and hugs.
>Seeing familiar faces.
>Perceiving the world around me.
>Making lists.
There is so much more, but I don't feel I have room in one entry to list everything that makes me happy. There's a universe out there, and a Heaven, and there's too much to list that makes me happy!
