I could probably go on as the more I think, the more I come up with. It really has lifted my spirits! What are some of the things that make you happy? Make a list and be happy that your world has so many wonderful things! Make others do the same! Its Friday, and we are alive..lets be happy!
Off to the gym for some more spirit lifting! xx
Loved the post - I miss Julia too so you made my cry this morning which seems to be a theme for me this week! Some of my favorites, not as many as yours of course: Shopping (w/Erin); broadway shows, dining out, trying new meals, books all the time, the gym; my fit bitches; a great hair day, costume jewelry, black & white movies, singing loudly and badly in car alone; fundraising for cancer society; people who say good morning and they don't know you; someone opening a door; unexpected gifts; alternative music; my little niece and nephew - so how's that my dear - not a bad start and I thank you for making me think of them!
ReplyDeleteI love you to pieces, Meaghan. And I have probably ever since you hosted what is still the greatest birthday party I have ever been to. You made a lovely Madonna! And I couldn't be happier to see someone else encouraging optimism as that is how I have chosen to live my life. So here are some of my favorite things:
ReplyDelete1. Dancing...any time..anywhere. It makes me happier than anything in the world.
2. Live band karaoke - my current addiction in life
3. Great friends - they are so hard to come by
4. My mother - my greatest inspiration in life
5. A sunny day on the beach
6. Taking pictures (and looking at them) - it's the only way to truly remember how lucky I am in life.
7. Making other people smile, laugh, and just be happy - that might be my greatest joy.
8. Food - I do love to eat
9. Traveling (to London I will come...sooner rather than later)
10. Writing my blog - and we have that in common
Thanks for this post. I loved it and I love you!
Thanks ladies. I am just seeing these now on a really crappy Monday morning and this made me smile!!!! Ahhh...time to be happy!!!!
