A Few of My Favorite Things

I don't know if you know this, but I really like to make lists. My co-workers know it, because this year I received not one but two notebook gifts for Christmas to make lists with. I'm going to need to make a lists about all the lists I need to make in the coming future. I think that list making is part of how I stay productive and creative.

I read an article written by a fellow list-maker about happiness. Her idea was to list all the things that made her happy, and include as many of those things into her days as possible. I love this idea, so, without further ado, here's a few of my favorite things, in no particular order:

• crossing items off my to-do list
• my beautiful office, clean and organized and comfortable
• vanilla lattes, cold in the summer, hot in the winter
• great hair days (who doesn't love those?)
• sweet surprises from Dave, friends, and family
• snuggling with a cat or dog
• listening to cool new music
• singing to great music (loud and in the car)---I definitely need to do this more often
• simple, healthy, and delicious food
• manicured fingers and toes
• creating, designing, crafting
• reading a good book, especially in bed
• sleeping in a little on weekends
• finding/buying awesome new dresses and looking great in them
• creating things with friends
• taking walks with friends
• nurturing close friendships, making deep connections

I'll be adding to this list as time goes on, probably. What are your favorite things?
