What Makes You Happy?

I had someone ask me the other day 'What makes you happy?' and then proceeded to tell me to write those things down. So, I figured, where else would I write them down then for you all to see and maybe pull from as well?

before I start, I would like to say that it's normal to be in a tough place. It's normal to not be okay all of the time, just as long as you're not sitting in it for too long! That's why it's great to remind yourself of the things that make you feel happy. The things that make you feel loved!

So, what makes me happy or feel loved?

1. Gods unconditional love, first and foremost. Definitely do not deserve the amount of grace and love He has given me recently

2. My family. Always.

3. Praying friends! I actually saw one of my friends today and we caught up some. Then he asked me "How can I love you and pray for you this week?" and it just truly made my heart so joyful I could've cried because just to know that God shows himself continuously through even the people that I have in my life..? That means so much to me. And I know that he is truly meaning that.

4. Good quality, loving friends (in general)

5. Warm, sunny, long days

6. Being close to any body of water, but specifically the ocean

7. Sunsets

8. Laughing, but the good kind where nothings coming out but maybe a wheeze every now and then!

9. When someone sends me a song or just anything at all and says "this made me think of you"

10. Intentional, thoughtful actions, just because

11. Books that are so good you get lost and can't put them down

12. Long drives with the windows down

13. Being with my best friends

14. Dogs :-) always. Somehow I introduce myself to the animals before the humans.. sorry about that!

15. Warm, rainy days

16. The beach at night! When there are no clouds, and the sky kisses the sea. When you are able to see every star in the sky and it feels like you can just lay there for hours in space.

17. Coffee shops (The Lazy Lab, specifically!)

18. Going on spontaneous trips/adventures by myself or with my friends

19. Being excited about something

20. Seeing people I love and care about do something they love, do things that make them a better version of themselves, or just simply doing anything that makes them happy

21. Being warm

22. Loving people unconditionally, no matter what

23. Good food!!!!! Ya girl loves to eat

24. Writing

25. Walking in soft green grass

I could go on and on, but I'll stop here :) So, what makes YOU happy?

I hope that you guys are finding things that fill yourselves with happiness and allow you to feel loved! I love you guys :)

Stay hopeful. Stay positive. Stay Radiant!!
