One of my goals for the new year is to just to be more optimistic and positive. It helps to write down things to be happy for so that way the negative thoughts get pushed aside. So here are a few reasons why I am happy and have reason to be:
1. I am employed at a place that doesn't suck (too bad), and even when it does suck...at least it always pays well.
2. Not only do I have one job, I have two. During uncertain financial and economical times, it almost feels like flattery to be employed.
3. The love of my life is here with me. No longer just a dream. No longer a star I wish upon. But in physical form, right by my side.
4. Sheldon--he may be a spazzy kitty but he's awesome and not like any other cat I've met before. Therefore, awesome.
5. Daisy--the horse I am planning to be buy by May. She is the reason for the two jobs, but she is worth it. She always makes me smile and I love spending time with her.
6. Coffee--'nuff said.
7. Hot chocolate-- mixed with the above, and I get a cup of heaven.
8. College is all paid for and I don't have to worry about paying outrageous sums of money when I am out of college.
9. My friends are awesome, unique, and amazing. Each one stands alone and just rocks.
10. My poetry: my poems have been viewed over 100,000+ times. That means so much to me as a writer....
11. My boyfriend's cooking. One word: amazing.
12. Most of my co-workers are not drama queens or pains to work with--making the place not dreadful.
13. Free coupons for my love and I to eat an all you can eat buffet where I work, being recognized for being awesome. haha Sorta...
14. Helping run fundraisers and such that went to helping a nearby struggling horse refuge.
15. Not being dependent on alcohol to make me happy.
16. Having a roof over my head and the heat.
17. The sexy beast--a very dependable and sexy (hence the name) car.
18. My family--for being supportive, understanding, and awesome.
19. All my limbs work properly.
20. I have a mouth to taste, a nose to smell, and eyes to see the world.
I challenge you.
