I am constantly struggling with balance. The "right" amount of time to ascribe to anything. Sadly I'm sort of an "all or nothing" girl. I am also terribly indecisive. More so now than ever.
It used to be just little things. What to eat for dinner, or which deodorant to buy, but now it's so much bigger. What should I do with my life? Do I want to be a psychologist or an attorney? Or none of the above? Should I go to graduate school this fall or wait for a better program, a better opportunity, etc. Have I found something I really love? Am I settling?
AND WHY OH WHY do I keep changing my mind? If this is self discovery, it is certainly a much curvier path than I expected. I am trying to enjoy the process. The journey, if you will. and I am. Truly. But sheesh, sometimes I just want to be there already!!
Anyway... The lovely blog The Rockstar Diaries has been posting happy lists lately. Lists of 10 things that make people happy. Reading everyone's lists (and seeing their beautiful photos) have been making me happy.
So I decided to make my own. I think everyone should follow suit and post their own lists. because thinking about what makes you happy, actually makes you happy. So make yourself happy, and let me know so that I can share in your happiness.
My list of (15) things that make me terribly happy:
1. Making plans
2. Scrapbooks and memories
3. Happy hour (blue moon beer with extra orange slices)
4. Surprises & thoughtfulness
5. Festivals (and excuses to drink during the day)
6. Fresh fruit from the Farmers Market (strawberries, mangoes, peaches)
7. Falling asleep (& waking up) to the sound of the ocean
8. Being inlove
9. Crawling in to a freshly made bed
10. Snowglobes & heart shaped glass paperweights
11. Cooking with my boyfriend
12. Holidays (& traditions)
13. Open air concerts
14. New seasons (especially Summer!!)
15. The future!

Love your list, and the pics, too. Very cute :)
Those pics are so cute!! I love your list. I have been loving cooking with my boyfriend lately too, so relaxing and a great bonding time at the end of a long day!
Adorable list and such cute pictures!!
Aww, I love your list and think y'all are so incredibly cute together!
I love those lists, too! Great list - want to do some scrapbooks for me? I am the worst scrapbooker EVER.
I love making plans, but of course also change my mind about what I want to do.
And my main reason for blogging and taking pictures and scrapbooking is mainly for the memories!
I've always been really "all or nothing" too, and am working so, SO hard to find balance.
