What I Love...

I declare love to things and people on a daily basis. I think I'm a lover, and tend to fall in love easily. If something makes me smile, I am halfway in love with it already. There are so many things that make me happy, so I thought I'd make a list. 

What makes my heart sing:

  1. Adventures. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. It can be as simple as going to a museum or having a relaxing day at the beach. I am easily amused, so it doesn't take much to make me happy.
  2. Jokes. I love to laugh, so when people tell me cheesy jokes, it makes me laugh until I think I can't breathe.
  3. Animals. Elephants are the most wonderful animal in the universe. They are smart, sweet, loyal, and loving... all the traits I admire.
  4. When I have painted nails. It's always such a treat to be pampered, and Julie spoils me all the time.
  5. Long conversations. I love having a chat with my friends. People have so many amazing things to say, and I am always interested in what people are thinking. That means I love my friends and family too. 
  6. Nature. I love hikes and being outdoors. There is something so peaceful and magical. It's amazing how the earth was created, and how geological features came to be. I think Geology makes me see the world with rose colored glasses. Everything is so beautiful to me.
  7. Food. I love to eat, and wish I could try everything fabulous in the world. I try to be open minded about the food, and am willing to try almost anything. (Just don't offer me meat.)
  8. All things made of paper. I love wrapping paper, boxes, post-its, and cards. It's an obsession really. I have a collection of everything, and never tire of getting more. I am addicted...
  9. Doing nothing important. I love to do nothing when I am feeling completely lazy. Staying in bed and reading is such a treat, and I wish I could do it more often. It has a way of relieving the stress out of my life. So does shopping.
  10. Korean Dramas. It has taken over my life. I can't eat or sleep without thinking about what is going to happen to my favorite characters, and it drives me nuts. I am convinced I need to visit Korea now, and go find Lee Min Ho. He and I are going to getting married someday. Well, at least in my dreams I am going to marry him. 
  11. Warm showers on a cold day. Cold showers on a hot day. That means I love the cool side of my pillows in the summer too. There's no better feeling...
  12. The smell of freshly washed clothing. I can't help it. I sniff my laundry. It smells so good.
  13. Photography. I love capturing happy moments. It's so wonderful to be able to go back, and see all the good times you had. I wish I could make it my job. 
  14. Reading an amazing book for the first time or watching a touching movie for the first time. I love a story that can make me cry, sigh, swoon, laugh, and yell. I sometimes get so emotionally involved in a story that I don't get over when it's over. 
  15. Stepping on crunch leaves. I love fall, and so I sometime wish that the leaves would change colors. Colorful leaves would be much more exciting to step on. 
  16. Taking care of my family and friends. I love doing things for the people I love. I never mind doing the chores at my house because I wouldn't want my family to have to do extra work. 
  17. When I accomplish something. I love it when I do something I set out to do. I am learning to be more assertive and to do what I know is important. I am getting better, and it's great.

I should remember what I love whenever I am feeling the blues. The things I love are the reason why I am so happy, so I should remember to do them once in awhile. Maybe they will keep me from getting grumpy. I have been a frumpy grumpy these past few days, and I definitely need a change of pace. 

P.S. Happy birthday, Jason!
