List 10 things that make you really happy

1) The beach. Just watching the turquoise blue waves crash and the white foam form calms me.

2) Chocolate. Tasting the rich, incredible taste dissolve in my mouth, laced with caramel or peanut butter or almonds.

3) Singing. Making my voice go high and low, loud and soft. Singing in whispers purely for myself, and singing loudly for anyone and everyone to hear.

4) Dresses. Feeling the material wisp around my legs; twirling and letting the skirt dance alongside me. Feeling beautiful, aided by the clothing on my body.

5) laughing. Feeling so joyful, that the giddiness erupts from my body and into large peaks of laughter, making everybody around me happy as well.

6) going to church. Feeling surrounded by people of the same faith, singing and listening and learning about God.

7) playing my instrument. Hearing the notes dance in the air, invisible. Moving my fingers to create music. Sliding the bow against the strings, hearing it ring out and fill the room with its sound.

8) late night talking.  Mumbling incoherencies and laughing quietly, trying not to wake anybody up. Closing your eyes and being half-asleep, yet still enjoying the company of the person lying beside you.

9) reading. Being transported to a completely different world; being able to create an image in my mind of characters, places, and more. Getting lost in the story, wishing you could live through it with your literary friends.

10) baking. Whisking, mixing, pouring, adding, scraping, cracking. Creating a delicious treat made of a few simple ingredients, completely unappetizing on their own, but irresistible together.
