For Today.

I could do a "this is bliss" today. But I feel like that's all I do lately. So I leave you with this:

Happiness for me right now, is having the worst week, but knowing it's all okay because I have a boyfriend who makes everything better and just loves me so much, and because of the reminder that everything (yes, everything) is going to turn out just the way it's supposed to, because God loves me and knows what's best.

And that's just the truth.

This is Bliss VII

I know it's Monday. I promise, I know. But I've missed the bliss, so here it is a little late.

surprises
the BEST SNUGGLING EVER.
sincere compliments
pajama parties
sweet revenge (with silly string, don't worry guys)
little talks
doing awesome on my homework
ice cream therapy
music (aka my life right now)
feeling fine with no makeup
eggo waffles
the happiness project
my pretty new planner
dreaming of the future
the rain
chivalry
sweater season (oh, it's coming)
jumping off a bridge (just cause)
napping in the student lounge
the coffee shop
vanilla bean white chocolate steamers (i die)
pretending

After taking the leap. Also, Spencer is eating my hair. He does that on occasion,
on account of how delicious my locks are.

what makes you happy?

This is Bliss II

I know that tomorrow is going to be just long and hard, and I'll be grateful when it's over. I've been so stressed about getting end of year testing and paperwork done, that I've just been a mess. 

I also know that the times that are the worst are when I really need to think of the things I love and am grateful for. So here you go.

• discovering a harper on the street outside city creek 
• getting laundry done
• water (I LOVE WATER.)
• making time for breakfast in the morning (twice this week)
• long hugs from Spencer
• re-reading harry potter (I'm on the third)
• hangin' with my hamsters
• watching "the vow"
• the things Tarah says
• FINALLY getting a new journal
• this song:

This is Bliss - I

I think that sometimes, we forget important things. I know I'm guilty of it. We don't try to forget, but things get lost in the crazy, everyday lives that we lead.

Starting today, every Sunday, I'm going to write about things that make me happy,

things that are lovely,

things that are beautiful,

that are good.

It's my little weekly reminder to myself and to you to think about the things you are grateful for.
