list three things every day that made me happy

1. Getting great grades on all the tests I took a few days ago!
2. Having my four-year-old brother hang out with me in my bedroom as I got ready to leave this morning. His hair was all messy, and he was carrying around a blanket and looking cold and sleepy.
3. Having a diet and workout partner. Finally. Now I might actually achieve the things I set out to do in that area.

1: New art supplies!!!!! I used my gift card to my favorite art store last night… I got paints, nice colored paper and other exciting artsy things. yay!
2: Singing on a stage. It just makes me happy, and it’s so much easier than talking in front of people.
3: Learning to be the best I can be, constantly refining myself, and trying to find the things that need to be changed.
I have the choice of what kind of person I want to be.

1: My brother’s birthday… he turned four. We decorated the house with blue and white balloons, gave him gifts and took him out to Chuck E. Cheese. He was so cute!
2: A sense of how I am connected with history.
3: Treasure maps.

1: Going grocery shopping with the entire family (all eight of us) then going to Chipotle.
2: Getting organized. I personally feel cleaner and happier when the house is clean and my stuff is organized… even when I’m not at my house.
3: Being involved, making myself be social.

:)

1. Learning to forgive… its probably one of the hardest things to do, but its good.
2. Having a gas fireplace! I can walk down the cold stairs in the morning, flip a switch and theres a fire in the fireplace. Its great!
3. The Sims2

1: Snowman snow! Finally the snow is melty enough to stick together… pretty soon there will be a huge snow lady in our front yard to be an odd spectical to anyone who passes by.
2: Composing a new song for my little harp.
3: Singing as loud as possible in the shower!

1: Being greeted by my 11-year-old sister when I came home today. She saw me walking down the long ice covered driveway, and she met me at the door with hot chocolate.
2: Meeting new people.
3: Painting.

1: Snow Days! I was all dressed… everything ready to go… THEN I found out that my school had changed its two hour delay to a full snow day. It was great!
2: Playing my harp late every night, with all the candles lit in my room.
3: Watching all the kids from the surrounding houses gathering in my back yard to make snow men and sled on the little hill with my siblings.

1: Weekends! It was so nice to be home today. I read Sherlock Holms and watched The Lake House, and painted with acrylics in one of my sketchbooks… and wrote part of a poem… and played the harp, and played the piano… and wached Cops and America’s Most Wanted… and sat at the computer looking at people’s 43things sites.
This is fun!
2: Having all the lightbulbs in the kitchen and bathrooms working. The house is so bright now.
3: My new $5.00 little red glittery dress… I never thought I would ever find a dress like that for less than $50-100 or more!

1: Family Dinners. My family has started having special family dinners… we have special flavors of wine, a really nice meal, then we have dessert, then cheese and crackers with tea.
We keep going out and getting interesting cheeses and spreads for the crackers.
2: ...family dinners… lol, we all burst into a song during one of the conversations and my youngest brother stood on his chair freaking out, trying to get our attention back.
3: cleaning up… Shakira (sp) came on the radio and we all danced around the kitchen while cleaning up the dishes and shelves.
