I've been looking over my long (and I mean long) to do list (in all fairness it has everything on it, from bucket list goals to quick tasks) I came across one thing tonight that I didn't want to put off any longer.
My to-do:
Write a things-I-love list.
Back when I was reading Sound of Paper one of the activities I put off but definitely had planned on getting back to was listing everything that made me happy. I think when I read that particular entry I was not feeling so happy or appreciative so I didn't want to spoil it for later and try to stay stubborn. Tonight (after a 7 hour nap, finishing a book and watching the newest episode of Pretty Little Liars) I decided to start the list.
I started and within a very short amount of time I wrote 120 things, after I saved the page I kept thinking of more. Little victories and happies are everywhere. Maybe it's because I'm in a good mood today (despite failing the Oregon written driver's test haha) but I'm really grateful for so many things.
If you have a second, go check my list out. If you need a reminder to smile, go check my list out! I made a special page for it so I could easily access it and so could anyone else.
What are some things that would be on your list?

This is the second blog post I've read today with a 'good things' list, and I think it's something I need to do.
ReplyDelete-days off with my husband
-steaming hot cups of tea
-having copious amounts of time to read
-my job. I LOVE MY JOB
-sewing. Even little things. Even just mending.
-vinyl. The scratchy quality of it sounds way better to me than anything on CD.
-my wee blog community
-frittering hours away on Pinterest.
I think making a "happy" list would be good for the stressful times in my life. Here's a couple of the things that would go on my list:
ReplyDelete-wasting away in pj's with my hubby.
-hearing the pitter/patter of little bunny feet running across the carpet.
-the quietness of our new apartment courtyard.
-when my craft room is organized (currently not).
-freshly cut nails.
-reading all of my many craft blogs.
-dreaming that one day I might be published in a scrapbook mag.
I want to be published in Artful Blogger! But I need to get more artful :) freshly cut nails are a dream and the courtyard sounds fantastic.
