Happy Thoughts
I have noticed lately that my blog has been full of complaints and whinings about how "terrible" my life is.. woe is me and poor student me (puts wrist to forehead in an overdramatic fashion and sighs). I do admit that in the last month I have been glued to my computer at home, school or at work. I think I might have developed a tan from the constant glow of my computer screen, or is that I now have a sickly colour because I have been stuck inside for months. My friends have dubbed me the grounhog, because I will emerge 6 weeks later from hiding when spring arrives.
So, in an attempt to bring some cheer to this blog and not bring the faithful readers of the wacky world of char down, I thought I would write about all the silly things in life that make me smile. Completely arbitrary and in no particular order and probably only meaningful to me, afterall it is MY blog.
1. waiting at the bus stop in the morning when you notice a cute boy standing next to you totally oblivious to the world, singing along to this MP3 player and not caring that a silly girl is smiling at him. Then that boy sits down beside you on the bus
2. reading the Georgia Straight every Thursday, but reading the back first and in this particular order: Horoscopes, Missed Connections, and Savage Love, then maybe the rest of it
3. shoes..need I say more
4. having green hair, although I think people judge me with it, a chance for me to prove them wrong
5. the feeling after going to the gym, (I dislike every minute of actually being at the gym and can't wait to finish my workout)
6. waking up and hearing a great song on the radio, then dancing to that song naked after you get out of the shower
7. realizing that you are kind of smart and can make some fantastic points in class
8. feeling strong after my power yoga class
9. hanging out with my friends and realizing that they don't care what Masters I am doing or how smart or not smart I am
10. seeing someone you have a crush on in the bus and realizing he lives super close to you
11. laughing over silly things
12. getting an email from your best friend in elementary school who you have known since you were 3
13. completing an assignment or debate and handing it in
14. a great big cup of tea in the morning
15. clean clothes
16. knowing that you did something good for someone else
17. finding a cute jacket that you tried on months ago and liked but couldn't afford on sale for half off
18. thinking about all the things I am going to do in the summer, pottery, guitar, hiking, kayaking...
19. having a great conversation with someone and realizing that 2 hours have gone by
20. Being comfortable in my own skin, being me
