Pancakes and Waffles

I just got off the phone with a good friend and let me just tell you, today has been GOOD. Sure, not everything was perfect, but I feel good, loved and happy. The bad things of today will soon be forgotten. So, I've decided to make a list of things that make me happy for future reference. Here goes.

God and Jesus Christ.

They have to go first. Always. I know some people don't appreciate faith, or religion, but it plays too much of a role in my life for me not to mention it just for the sake of the few that would be offended by my own beliefs. God, whether you know it or not, loves each and every one of us. That means you. And me. And that makes me happy. I can always count on things being okay because I know this.

My family.

They're just the best friends I could ever ask for.

My friends.

They're basically family.

Pancakes.

Seriously best breakfast/anytime food ever. I may be the only person to prefer them to waffles, but oh well. They're amazing. IHOP is one of my favorite restaurants ever.

Tracy Chapman music.

No joke. Every time I listen to her I feel at peace and so relaxed. Whenever I hear the first few notes of "Fast Car" or "Crossroads" I sigh as if I had just stepped into a jacuzzi. She's amazing.

The ukulele.

It is what one's soul sounds like when it smiles. How can it NOT make you feel happy?

Art.

More of the creation than the actual viewing, to be honest. Art is my therapy. My best friend. My outlet. My sanity. My life.

When someone I miss starts the conversation.

I have some friends that I haven't talked to in a long time and some of them I really miss. The only reason that I haven't talked to them in a while is because I'm always the one to start the conversation, so I feel like I'm the only one interested in staying in touch and I lose the courage of calling/texting them. So I always appreciate it when someone just wants to talk to me.

Thinking.

I honestly enjoy thinking. I'm intrigued by just about anything and want to learn more about everything. I just like figuring stuff out. There's a reason why I know so many random facts about everything.

Comments.

They let me know people are actually reading this.

The last one's a joke.

... kinda.
