I don't know if this post is really going to have a theme. But perhaps by the time I finish it will have some semblance of cohesion.
Lately in Houston, we have been having this amazing weather, due to hurricane season. Amazing in this sentence means: disgusting, humid, rainy, bleak, and dismal. Due to the complete lack of sunshine, the last few days have been kind of a downer. After a few complete downer days, I have realized that, as cliche as it sounds, the small, simple things can really make you feel better.
1. good music
the above listed songs, along with going old school for a bit and listening to some stuff I haven't heard in years
2. singing in the shower
sing loud, sing often, sing proud
3. reading
I used to read at least one book a week even during my busy high school week. During the college semester I can barely remember picking up a book other than a text book. Summer has given me time to bury myself back in a book.
4. writing
I am an english major, I want to be an author, I write stories for fun, I am a nerd. and I love it.
5. disney movies
Beauty and the Beast. You can have the Notebook, I will take singing cutlery and a giant fluffy man-lion-bear.
6. friends
this is basically self explanatory. I have the best friends in the world. When I'm down, they're there. whether it's listening to me rant over a facebook chat or making me laugh with funny texts, my friends are my lifeline. So often when someone is having a bad day, you accept their "it's fine" instead of really asking them what is wrong. The people that really want to know what you're thinking and how to help are the people that truly care.
7. laughter
laugh loud, laugh often, laugh so hard you cry.
I wanted to end this in an even number or something, but I guess my next number would be sleep, which I need to do.
Psalm 62:8 Oh my people trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.
