30 Day Writing Challenge...

Hello guys! So I'm pretty sure I tried doing this already and completely failed so let's try again haha. My biggest reason for doing this is simply to get me back into the habit of writing because I love it! I'm just lazy as all heck! I'm using a list off of good ole Pinterest and may substitute prompts that I don't feel comfortable exposing to the universe or that I don't like! Let's dive in!

List 10 things that make you really happy.

1. Freshly cut flowers...these make my entire day. I love having fresh flowers in my house. It feels cozier, homier, and more alive. I currently have some lavender bouquets and a mum bouquet with some fall filler flowers.

2. Playing piano...this is something I've done for years and helps keep me sane. Unfortunately it's one of the things I've had less time for in the past few years, especially when I don't have a piano in my house. But because it's such a lovely part of my life I'm looking into lessons again to sharpen up my skills.

3. Christmas...I LOVE CHRISTMAS. Like wish it existed all year round because I love it so much. I plan on making a separate post about Christmas because it's so magical, but it's just the happiest time of the year.

4. My lovely friends...they always cheer me up when I'm down and they're always there for me when I need them. What would we do without our best friends??

5. Clean sheets...you know they say it's the little things and if anything is a good example of that, this would be it. I love getting into a bed that has, cool, soft sheets that smell like Tide and Downy!

6. Records/music...I love music, mainly really old stuff from like before the 70's, with the occasional modern stuff. I love listening to music on my record player even more though. This morning I put a Christmas album on my little navy record player and it felt so cozy!

7. My ukulele...I taught myself to play ukulele a few years ago and I just love how simple it is and how I can pick it up and strum a tune whenever I'm bored or feel like getting musical without a piano nearby!

8. Books/the bookstore...now I have to admit I have lagged on the reading front since I graduated from high school, but I absolutely love books and going to the bookstore. If I could I would buy a book every time I enter a bookstore. I love reading, even though I've slacked off on it. Not only do I love reading I just love the physical being of a book. I love how they feel, how they smell, how they look. I especially love old books. My favorite book of all time is Alice in Wonderland and I have a collection that is, at this point, ridiculous and beautiful!

9. Candles...I think that the smell of a place is one of the most important things, even before how it looks. Even if your house is a disaster as long as it smells like heaven most people wouldn't even care! I love fall candles the most because they smell so cozy and dreamy!! I'm more a fan of candles that smell like the outside (flowers, snow, leaves, etc) and occasionally I'll go for a sweet scent!

10. Disneyland...this one is harder to come by and a big splurge, but also the most magical place on earth. I can't even describe the feeling that comes over me when I walk through the magical gates of this wonderland.

Okie dokie guys! Those are ten things that make me really happy!! I'm sure that this list could go on longer and I hope that it continues to grow because who doesn't love being happy?! I hope you all have a lovely day, night, week, etc!!
