Whenever I start feeling extra stressed, worried or negative, I like to step back and remind myself of the good stuff. It’s been a while since I’ve shared a love list. I’m not particularly stressed or worried, but a lot has been going on lately and I haven’t had a chance to stand still. This is my attempt. Love list #4:
Dancing around to Weezer’s “The Good Life.” When cereal stays crunchy in a bowl of milk. The butterflies. Happy cats. Outdoor concerts. Being just far enough out of the city to see the stars. Big fluffy pillows. My grandpa’s laugh. My grandma’s accent. Temporary tattoos. Planning road trips.
New Twitter backgrounds. Fireworks. City noise. The new Facebook app (coming soon!) Love stories. The sound of a can being opened. Dresses that make me feel great and don’t make me look pregnant. A baby’s giggle. The sound of turning the volume up on my Mac.
Crumpled-up tissue paper. Walking through a new part of the city. Smooth legs. Comfy couches. Laughing until my abs hurt. Real Simple. Meeting new bloggers. Rain mixed with sunshine. Passing a hopscotch and playing along just because I can. Creative social networking icons.
Getting lost while writing. Finishing a book the same day I started reading it. Postcards. The drawer full of business/calling cards from events. Fun water bottles. Blog badges. Smelling books. Holding hands. Cadaver labs. A complete DVD series. Mother’s Day. Franzia. Mangos.
What’s on your love list?

Aw.
This made me smile and feel happier about life. There are so many things in life to love, aren’t there?
A special favorite of mine: being in warm, pouring rain in Asia. Particularly by a beach.

Oooh I might need to steal this idea one day, what a great idea. Oh and btw, I love that Life is Good bumper sticker, I always wanted one of my own.
Ummm my list from today: sleeping in, having time to read a good book, new twitter friends that make me laugh, having a cute trainer at the gym flirt with you… ahhh.

Things are really rough right now for me – so this post really gave the lift I needed. Thank you for pointing out the “Good Stuff”
And I thought I was the only one who loved the sound my mac’s volume made <3
I would say two that pop into my head right now are:
- Looking into my Pups Eyes
- Cheeto Fingers =)

I also love the sound of cracking open a can of whatever (probably beer). Possibly my favorite sound. And then I love taking that beer and dancing in my boxers to The Beatles’ “Twist and Shout.” Might sound a little strange, but it’s impossible to not be in a good mood while doing that.
