This Is My Happy Face

The motivation and drive to work out first thing in the morning.

The scent of real Christmas trees.

…and re-experiencing it every time you leave and re-enter a room.

Accompanying a friend on some leisurely afternoon errands.

Curling my hair just for fun.

Naps on the couch.

Snow flurries.

Plugging in the lights on my Christmas tree.

Crispy pizza crust.

Watching the two latest Merlin episodes back to back.

Three-day old wavey ponytail hair.

A solid work-out.

Finishing the semester!

Surprise phone calls from my dad.

Googling “Let It Snow”.

Starting to learn Brahms’ “Rhapsody in G Minor” on the piano.

Testing all the blankets in the store.

Re-organising my entire file cabinet and chest.

Finding new art in unexpected places.

The episode of Friends where the cat jumps on Ross’s head when he tries to ask out Rachel and laughing until it hurts.

Getting down to business and finishing the last of my final projects before 1PM.

My new bunny snow globe.

Leisurely shopping adventures just for fun.

Anything and everything metallic.

New journals.

Sparkly nail polish.

Wooly knee socks

Peach iced tea.

Waking up early and listening to my audiobook under my bed covers.

Post-birthday celebratory sprinkle cake ice cream + pepperoni pizza.

Trying on all the sparkley shirts.

Uninterrupted sleep.

Taking my time.

How incredibly sweet everyone was with their birthday wishes on Twitter. <3

Not freaking out when I couldn’t finish my entire project by deadline.

Jumping jacks.
