Too Happy.

I've been working really hard recently
on finding JOY.
As in, pure, deep, true, lasting happiness.
That usually comes from things like
soul searching, service, and creating something.

Buuuut, there are a few things that make me happy....
...like real happy...

...that are trivial and not meaningful at all...
...but they bring light and color and beauty into my days...
and make me soooooo happy:

1. Painting my nails blue in the summertime,

and black in the winter.

Don't ask me why, I just always do.

2. Rumbi Grill salmon and veggie rice bowl.

And mostly because if I'm eating it,

that means I didn't have to cook.

1. When pumpkin flavored recipes,

and outfits with scarves 

start popping up on Pinterest...

...because that means FALL is coming.

4. Red,

Pink,

Rose,

Burgundy,

Orange,

Salmon,

Coral,

Peach,

Crimson,

Blush,

Ruby Lipstick.

5. Saltwater Sandals.
Because they're kids shoes.
That come in adult sizes.

6. Diet Lemonade
from Chick-fil-a.

7. Hot air balloons.
#magical

8. Star-shaped Watermelon
and blueberry salad.
It's just so darn patriotic.

9. Barbara Streisand movies.
(But we all knew that already)

10. Sparklers.

These things shouldn't make me so happy.
But I just can't help it.
