10 Things That Make Me Happy

Maddie Ruth

This past week was a week full of happiness and just being thankful for life. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it helps you value the good in life. Positivity is something that I take seriously in my life. I love to smile and laugh and create unforgettable memories with amazing people. Being a happy person I still have my bad days, I refuse to let those times get me down, I came up with a way to beat a bad day. Here are the ten things that make me happy and every time I go through this list it works every time, I hope that this works for you as well.

1. Cute animal videos.

Like this one:

2. Shopping.

I sure do enjoy a great deal.

3. Laughing.

It is true laughter is the best medicine. Whenever you feel sadness approaching go and laugh it off. When you are thinking deeply about life instead of thinking about it in a bad way just laugh at life. I laugh about my life every day. Life is weird it is okay to let things go and laugh it off.

4. Hugging someone.

I love hugging, I am a hugger so when we meet each other for the first time be prepared to be embraced by a little blonde girl.

5. Great music.

I love singing loudly in the car, and I love a song that can get everyone to sing together. Great music brings everyone together and that makes me happy, because who doesn't like music?

6. Friends and Family.

I am so grateful to have the people in my life that I have. Special shout out to you all I would throw in a few names, but instead, you all know who you are and I love you all.

7. Beach, water, and sunshine.

Yes. I love the beach I am a Florida girl so a little piece of my heart will forever belong to the ocean.

8. Adventure.

I am spoiled being involved with the aviation world. I love spontaneous flights to join friends for dinner in Marathon, Florida or go spend the day in St. Augustine, Florida. The memories that aviation provides is something that makes me so happy with my life.

9. Making others smile.

Every day I wake up with one goal and that goal is to make at least one person's day a great day.

10. Smiling.

I wake up every morning and smile because a smile makes the day an automatic great day. It was something I started doing back in high school and I never fail to find a smile on my face when I wake up in the morning. It is such a strong feeling.

XO,

M

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
