List of Loves

In this world of stress and pressure, whether it be getting into the school of your choice, working a demanding job or maybe you're facing a hard spot in a relationship, it's easy to get caught up in the woes and follies of life.  SO in an effort to combat said distress, I'm going to start an ongoing list of all the things that I love and am grateful for :) Then I'm going to try to find one new thing to add everyday for the next 30 days! I dare anyone to try along with me!!

OKAY!

Finding a renewed sense of hope, Helping someone with something and having them really appreciate it, Red Lipstick, Candle Lite Bubble Baths, Upright Pianos, Smiles, Freckles, Old Couples Holding hands, kisses, when a friend winks at me in a group conversation, being on the inside of an inside joke, riding a bike really really fast, kindness, instant friendships, when the internet works fast, playing bike tag in the summertime through the city, going to concerts, summer rain, going on car rides through the canyon listening to The Might Rio Grande, eating shaved ice when it's hot, drinking hot chocolate when it's cold, when someone makes me dinner and remembers that I'm vegan, eating all the toast with coconut oil, eating all the popcorn with coconut oil, pretty much anything with coconut oil on it, when I have a real 'lol' moment, going to lunch with my friends, going on runs with a friend, when I remember a funny joke from earlier and it still makes me laugh and smile, hammock camping, bonfires, stargazing on a really clear night, doing cartwheels, rereading Harry Potter for the billionth time, reading a new book and falling in love with the characters, writing in my journal, when the workout is over, rock climbing, Listening to Otis Redding on vinyl, really listening to anything on vinyl, John Denver, the Utah mountains, pretty dishes, when the Batista does foam art in my latte or hot chocolate, sandwiches, feeling confident in a new outfit, putting on a new pair of socks,  getting in to bed after a really long day, clean sheets, freshly squeezed orange juice,  medjool dates with almond butter, when my eyeliner and eyebrows match, eating oatmeal, when my friends succeed at what they love, when I realize that I no longer am harboring anger towards someone, David Bowie, dancing in public, spontaneous road trips, watching a movie that makes me feel like I can accomplish my dreams, SLC Punk, going to punk shows, TEDtalks on love and happiness, when I'm having a good hair day,
