Things That Make Me Happy

Lifestyle

Inspired by Carrie Fletcher I decided to give this a go...

Carrie recently posted on her blog All I Know Now, two posts about what makes her happy. I thought this was a really good idea as sometimes we forget to acknowledge the little things in life which are accountable for the majority of our happiness.

So here is my list, of a few things which make me happy.

Bubble baths
That cool wind on a hot summers day
My Best Friend
Knowing that I have a network of people supporting me
Walt Disney
Disney Movies
Dreamworks Movies
Movies in general
Blogging
Things being out of proportion from one another
Fluffy blankets
Socks
Reflection
Silent noise
Being organised
Lengthy Skype calls
Books/Reading
Old wooden bookcases
The Bodleian Library at Oxford University
Seeing other people smile
Sharing stories
Writing
Reading
Tea

In the comments, write 3 things that make you happy, and if you have the chance I urge you to create a list of your own. So that when you aren't feeling so happy, you can give it a quick look.

Florida Photo Diary (days 1-5)

Lifestyle

Hey!

This is the very first installment of my Florida Photo Diary!!

So as you may have guessed from the title, I am currently on holiday in Florida. A while ago I had an idea to document my holiday by creating a photo diary. This way I will be able to fit my holiday memories into a collection of blog posts.

I briefly mentioned this idea in a previous blog post which you can find here.

Day 2 - Universal Studios

Day 3 - Driving to our rented house

Day 3 - Crossing over the bridge off Florida

Day 3 - A photogenic lizard we found

Day 4 - Yet another photogenic lizard we found

Day 4 - Swimming

Day 5 - Pretty flowers at a restaurant we ate at

Day 5 - Walking along City Pier

Day 5 - From the end of the pier

Day 5 - How exactly does one harass a Dolphin?!

Day 5 - A Pelican casually sitting on top of City Pier Restaurant

Day 5 - Spending time at the beach

Day 5 - Stormy clouds and choppy waves

Let me know in the comments if you are going away on holiday this year, and if so, where to.
