Happy Annie
I've said it before. I really do prefer to be happy. Happiness is the best. Obviously. Yet a number of my posts of late have been whingy. Or along the lines of yelling at people over a blog. Not healthy. Not happy. So no more grumpy :)
Here's a list of Thirteen Things I'm Happy For -- we'll call it my Thursday Thirteen, even though it's a day early.
1. My friends. I like company. And friends are much better company than strangers. Most of the time - somtimes strangers can be fun!
2. Random evenings. I love the random evenings that the girls and i have; our junk food crawl, Saw nights (or scary movie nights generally), chick flick nights where we watch the same movie over and over, weekends away where we just sit around and watch Friends... all much fun.
3. Uni friends who keep you from being a loner at lunch, who talk to you in lectures and who greet you by name (which is really sweet by the way!).
4. Friends dvds. The laughts never stop, no matter how many times you watch the same thing.
5. Summer. Sun means the beach and general 'happiness inducing' weather. I like. Add fishing, swimming and being able to walk at night and you've got a good thing going.
6. Winter. Not to be forgotten, there's nothing better than curling up inside when you can hear the rain on the roof. Walks in the rain are the best, i love the smell of rain and i can wear jeans all the time! Winter rules.
7. My car. The Beetle is legendary. It doesn't stall. It runs on empty. It is self-cleaning. It has everything it would ever need in the boot. It fits what seems like a million people in it (ok, actually five). It has a tape deck, which is just so cute. It accelerates fast. I like it better than my mum's. I love it!
8. 18ths. We've got a whole stack of 18ths coming up. There's really nothing better than a good party, a pretty dress, all your friends, good music, an excuse to go slightly nuts... can't wait!
9. Gorgeous people like Matthew Perry. What would television be without him?!
10. My blog. Need more be said?
11. The people at church. Some of my best friends go there, i've got a fantastic guy who's always looking out for my best interests, just like a father-figure who actually knows what i'm up to, much fun, a place to crash and feel totally at home - i love it there. Happiest place on earth.
12. Music. I don't know what i'd do without it. Singing it, making it, listening to it, watching it, writing it. Love, love, love it.
13. Smiling. I think smiling makes you happier, even when you're not happy. Does that make even the tinest bit of sense? So, smile. Or, better yet, laugh!
Do i sound soppy? Well, so what if i do! After listing all of those things, my smile is back on and i feel like i can face allllll of the homework i yet have to do before i can go to bed! Next time you're feeling a little blue? Try listing the happy things. Not the totally obvious ones, like the fact that you're alive and breathing. Try to look just a little deeper. I gaurantee, you'll be smiling!
Au Revoir!
