bee happy.

fifteen things i did that made me happy this weekend:

- waking up at 6:45

- saying a prayer, and in the quiet being able to feel that still small voice

- reading a book. on happiness, actually.

- complimenting a girl on her hair. it was almost like the color of a dark cherry wood finish, with the smokey red-purple glossiness and all. and her messy braid was perfectly imperfect.

- deeply considering chopping all of my hair off, and enjoying the prospect of it

- watching the heavy snowfall and thinking of it as beautiful rather than terrifyingly and numbingly cold

- remembering the collection of porcelain dolls i've gathered over time. they were always one of my favorite gifts as a kid.

- making an official pact with myself to make better choices daily

- drinking a delicious oolong tea while watching a great movie with mudbone

- splurging and eating almost half a row of oreos together. yum.

- setting goals for this week

- reading my scriptures

- experiencing donuts in the church parking lot. twice.

- attending a masquerade ball and having a marvelous time

- spending time with and talking to tvae

what did you do to be happy this week?
