10 Things That Make Me Happy

I'm pretty easy to please.If you treat me with respect,and care about me for who I really am we can be friends. These days I try to find at least little joy in everything, but there are some things that are guaranteed to make me happy.


Halloween
It is the best time of the year. I can be me, and it isn't frowned on. I love the costumes, make up and creativity.


Vacations
I love being able to get away and not worry about the 101 things I have swimming in my head. I like seeing new places, learning new things, and finding new favorite places to visit.


Diet Dr Pepper
It is my caffeine of choice. There is just something about it that lifts my spirits, and helps me function.


My family and friends being happy
Helping others enjoy life and knowing they are content makes me feel accomplished.


Scary Movies
I'm not sure why. Maybe it is because they are so easy to critique. I don't mean that in I watch them to be negative. I typically enjoy even the cheesiest gorefest, but I'm always also looking at the details.


Sleep
I suffer from insomnia. I go for weeks with little to no sleep. When I do sleep and sleep well, my world is a better place.


A Swedish Massage
I was in a car accident recently...ok my back was tense before that. Now it is killer. Sometimes the only way to make the pain go away is to work on those knots in my neck, shoulders and back. It helps with the back pain and I get less headaches.


getting new cameras
I wish I would have spent more time learning about photography. It is just a hobby, but I am pretty decent at it. I try not to be materialistic, but getting a new camera to play with just makes me giddy.


Hello Kitty
Yes...I am probably too old for this but I don't care. Love it and its cuteness.Judge me if you will. It is my young at heart thing. Everyone should have one of those.


Cute Shoes
This is a strange one. Really do love shoes, but I hate wearing them. I hate socks even more. Yes I'm just random like that.

Challenging Your Writing

Blogging is easy for me. In an attempt to start shaking up my writing, I decided to start doing a writing workshop and trying some new writing prompts. Trying to get my blog back up in shape has been harder than I thought it would be. I am feeling like writing again, but I need variety. It has been fun trying new topics. Still, I was always picking the safe ones. This week, the list came to my inbox and the one I was instantly drawn to was of course the easy one. However, there was another prompt that was nagging at me. "What I lack" Here is the deal: I don't want to always write about negative stuff. This would be a negative blog. That wasn't the worst of it. I knew it was a topic I would have a hard time putting into words. I don't want to be misunderstood, but I am just  not sure how to put some of these feelings in words I kept trying to convince myself it wasn't a good idea. I just couldn't shake it. I wrote the blog. It is far from the best thi...

What Does One Wear??

Image
On May 21, I am attending Methodist Theological Seminary of Ohio's Commencement. My mother was a student there, and she would have graduated this May. The college has decided to award her a posthumous degree. This is very kind, and we are honored they have decided to do this. Today I was trying to  figure out my plan for that day, when it occurred to me: What does one wear to accept a degree for their mother (who died nearly a year ago)? Well black doesn't seem fitting (and there goes half my wardrobe) It cannot be too short It cannot be to low cut (there goes most of the rest of my wardrobe). So what are my options? Very obviously this is not going to work: Maybe something like this, but not in Black? This had potential...until I noticed those were skulls not polka dots This has potential Then I was distracted by this (but....it is on sale!!) Okay...more like this? I just don't know...any suggestions?
