It's The Simple Things That Make Me Happy
www.themindfulword.org

Happiness, joy, and pleasure are just a few words that can describe the things I'm getting ready describe. If you are close to me and you know I'm feeling down, just bring up one of the things on this list and my whole mood will make a one-hundred-and-eighty degree turn.


1. Blankets

In my opinion, I don't think you could ever have enough blankets. There are so many different kinds, you can get a knit blanket, a fuzzy blanket, a silky blanket or even blankets with built in arms. The mood that you're in can affect the type of blanket you choose to snuggle with. I personally think its good to have variety, and if you have enough, you can put a blanket in every room so you can be prepared for whenever you need to get warm or relax.


2. Sunglasses

The feelings I have towards sunglasses are similar to the feelings I have with blankets. They make it so you are able to see but not have to squint and get a headache. Have have about ten pairs of sunglasses and still feel that I don't have enough. I think that I need to have two pairs in the car, because I always end up wearing one or both pairs inside and leaving them there, I need at least three pairs in the house, and need some for when I lose or break the others (which happens a lot).


3. Chapstick

Chapstick is a necessity, especially when that fall weather comes around and the cool dry air ends up drying out your lips. The aftereffect of putting chapstick on is miraculous, and your lips go from dry and crusty to soft and smooth.


4. Disney

I know some people aren't huge fans of Disney movies, but they make me the happiest girl alive! There's something special about watching an old Disney movie that I haven't seen in a while and reminiscing on the simpler times.


5. Pets

Pets are blessings from God. I honestly think I would be depressed if I didn't have a cat or dog to come home to. My favorite part of the day is coming home after a long day, putting my pajamas on to go relax and my cat is excited to see me and snuggles up with me. It makes my heart melt every time.


6. Fresh sheets

You can't tell me that you've gotten into a bed with fresh sheets and didn't feel like a fresh new person. It's similar to when you have had a long day standing out in the heat, mowing the grass, or swimming in the ocean and then you take a shower and get out and feel the sensations of cleanliness and freshness. That is what happiness feels like.


7. Jesus

I think its pretty self explanatory why Jesus makes me happy.


Those were just a few of the things that make me happy and I thank God for those few simple things because without them I don't know where I would be.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
