10 Things That Always Make Me Happy

Friday, January 22nd, 2010


Living in Los Angeles can really make someone get used to the sunshine. So much so that when it does happen to rain it can almost feel like the end of the world. I happen to love the rain, but I hear a lot of people complaining. It’s too wet outside to do anything…it makes me feel depressed..the list goes on and on. So I decided to do a little exercise to remind people how to bring the sunshine back when it’s gloomy outside. Just make a list of all of the things that always make you happy. Here’s mine:

1. Gitter! And anything that sparkles.
2. “Cuddle Fuddle” by Passion Pit
3. Cooking for a large group of people. Nothing warms my heart more than bringing my favorite people together over a delicious homecooked meal. (and some wine!)
4. Winning stuff. I don’t know who wouldn’t like winning things – but I think I may have an addiction to contests.
5. Fireworks.
6. Coffee. Strong coffee.
7. Finding the perfect “just because” surprise for someone I care about.
8. Finishing a new song.
9. Finding a new app for my iPhone
10. Road trips
