Day 55: Favorites Friday

I've had a few rough migraine days.  So to keep myself in good spirits, today I will be discussing things that I love.  That's part of anyone's health journey, right?

THE SUN
I can't wait 'til spring forward every year. I don't even care if it means that I lose an hour of sleep.  If the sun is out, I'm like 1000% happier.

THE BEACH/THE OCEAN
I'm such a beach girl.  You can't pry me off of an ocean beach.  Or out of the water.  Unfortunately,  I was just was born with the wrong skin for it...

WATCHING MY BOYS PLAY
Sports, mud, frisbee...  whatever.  I'm happy when they're happy.

BRIGHT COLORS
I can't take another minute of my 95% black winter wardrobe.  I'm dying to be back in turquoise, yellow, and green.  I even painted my front door lime green and I love it.

FRIENDS
Love a good girls night.  No one makes me laugh harder than this bunch.

And I am so lucky to have these ladies as forever friends.  

FAMILY
Obviously. My family, husband, and children mean the world to me.  My parents are the epitome of happily married forever.  And seriously, my siblings and I have a bond that just can't be explained to most others.

COFFEE
I mean, really.  I'm never without a cup.  And I don't mean caffeine.  I can do without that.  In fact, most people would say that I SHOULD always do without caffeine.  I just love my cup of joe.  It is the one vice that I will not give up.  Ice cream, sure.  Cheese, ok, no problem.  But DO NOT try to take away my coffee.

WHITE TRIM
Nothing brightens up a room more than shiny white trim.  Watch out for me if you have dark wood trim.  I might show up at your house with a paintbrush in hand.

TWIRLING
I've been twirling since I was little.  In the kitchen, in the hallway, on the beach.  I don't see an end to this coming, ever.

Which of course leads to...

DANCING

It really bites my butt that I'm not a Fly Girl.  Or a ballerina.  Or just someone who can dance in general.  I love to dance (but alas... I can not) and have been know to bust into the running man at any moment (even if I might scare an innocent baby).

MAKING THINGS

Building furniture, sewing kids stuff, repainting, sanding, tiling...  Nothing makes me happier than when I'm in "project mode".  My mother calls me the energizer bunny.  And most people don't understand that resting for me is not actually restful.  I don't feel complete unless I am busy making something.

BRUSSEL SPROUTS
I could eat them every day.  But  maybe only 3-4 of them per day.  Because beyond that amount... well let's just say that they are clearly fullllll of fiber.

CERTAIN SONGS
You know the days when the radio station is just hooking you up and all the songs they're playing that day were obviously meant just for you? Those are my favorite days.  There are just some songs that when you hear them, all is well in the world.  You know what I'm saying, right?

BEING SILLY
If you know me, you know I'm a huge dork.  In a good way, I hope.  I will put on a costume for almost any occasion.  I'm not afraid of making a fool of myself and I'm very willing to be a bit immature for a good laugh.

 

Well, this post definitely served it's purpose.  I'm in a much better mood now.  And the sun is out!!  Enjoy today everyone!
