These are a Few of my Favorite things...

The smallest things can make me smile or laugh. I wrote an annoyance blog before, but these are things that I love...

1. A smile from someone I love, and of course friends and family.

2. Waking up to birds singing outside my window and the sunshine on my face. Nothing can put me in a better mood than some sunshine.

3. Laughing until I cry.

4. Walking on the beach barefoot right where the waves barely come in.

5. I firmly believe God invented strawberries just for me. It doesn't matter what shape or form they are in, I absolutely adore them. The bigger and redder the better.

6. Surprises. Good surprises, not bad ones.

7. Watching a kitten or puppy play. That is the most adorable thing ever.

8. Accomplishing something I originally thought was impossible or doing a lot better than I had anticipated.

9. Chocolate.

10. Any Italian cooked meal will always satisfy my hunger while putting a smile on my face. (Mexican is a close second)

11. The feeling after I just vaulted a PR for the first time.

12. Dates with my favorite boy :)

13. Kodi kisses.

14. Snow days, although I can't stand the cold I like getting out of school/work.

15. Scarlett O'hara and Gone with the Wind are my all time favorites! I absolutely love that time period right at the Civil War. The big plantation houses, clothing, and the way of life is all fascinating to me.

16. Walking along the Battery in Charleston. (The market too.)

17. Shopping and lunch with my mom.

18. The sound of a baby laughing.

19. Music. Real music. Nothing can calm my nerves better than some well played symphony music.

20. Broadway musicals. Wicked or Phantom of t he Opera would probably be my top pick.

21. Vault practices with my dad. They always seem to go better.

22. Vacations with the Garzonis, you never know what will happen...

23. The feeling of Christmas eve and morning when you were a kid. The excitement and anticipation to the point you thought you might bust!

24. Being sore. This one is a double edged sword. I don't like feeling sore, I like being sore in the fact that I know I have done something that is benefiting my body.

25. Movie nights with James and my parents.

26. Girls night out.

27. Seeing a finished piece of work for the first time.

28. Cuddling with Bella or Tiger.

29. Reading. Books for entertainment, not school.

30. Knowing no matter how bad I screw up that there is a God and people who will always love me.

" There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South... Here in this pretty world Gallantry took its last bow... Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave... Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered. A Civilization gone with the wind... "
