a second list.

Items I use every day, but don't really think about or appreciate.

1. Toilet: better than digging a hole.

2. Cups: better than using my hands.

3. Mirror.

4. Pillows and Blankets: I'd be stiff and cold every morning if I didn't have them.

5. Chairs: I love sitting on the floor, but sometimes the floor is too gross for even me.

6. Shoes: have you seen the TOMS videos about foot infections? I get that we have more accessible soap and water in this country, but I care about my foot health. Also, I really like shoes.

7. Trash cans: a great alternative to piles of garbage.

8. Bags, all kinds (purses, grocery bags, back packs, etc.) A person can only carry so much in her hands.

9. Pony tail holders: what else would I use to control my mane? Ribbons don't work well enough, rubber bands only rip my hair out.

10. Glasses/Contact Lenses: I really enjoy being able to see.

a list. the first in a series.

I just told someone that I was going to sleep. Because I have to be up to work out at 8:00 tomorrow morning.
At least it's the last workout, and I think it's another one with a partner.
It won't be too tragic.

I was wandering around Twitter and Tumblr, and I found a list someone made.
It was 10 things that she loved.

I was thinking the other day that I wanted to make a list of another group of things.
That one will come later.

Tonight, I'm going to share ten things that always make me smile.

1. Seeing an airplane at night.
1.1 Seeing my yellow Styrofoam airplane.

2. "The 12 Days of Christmas (Live)" by Straight No Chaser.
2.1. "Hey Santa!" as performed by Straight No Chaser

3. Remembering the freedom and joy and hope that I have in Jesus Christ.
3.1. Romans 8.

4. Bowling.

5. Sunrises and sunsets. I love that God always has new colors to show us.

6. TOMS shoes: the physical feeling, and the knowledge that I helped someone in need.
6.1 Seeing other people wearing TOMS, especially when we match.

7. The change of seasons: the first yellow leaf, looking out the window to see the first snowflakes, tulips and daffodils, and the beginning of the unbearable heat.

8. Dancing, especially car dancing.

9. Going home for the weekend after being at school for way too long.

10. Not knowing what the future holds, but knowing that God has it all planned out for me.

Okay, so it was actually more than ten.
Plenty of things make me smile.

Now I'm going to try to get about seven hours of sleep.
