Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens...

I have decided to try to do a favorite things post at least once a week. The reason behind this is because of my Positive Psychology class. The thing I have learned in this class is that I am not very positive haha. Ever since I decided (this morning) to do a favorite things post I have been walking around noticing all the things I love about my life... all my favorite things. Hopefully by doing these posts I will start to notice the wonderful things in my life more than the bad things. And in turn it will make me more thankful for it all.
So here are my favorite things of the week...

#1. Clouds... I love clouds. I never really noticed the clouds and then one day last year I looked up and BOOM I was in love. They are so amazing in a new way every day. I definitely think we take the beauty around us for granted. I could go into this more... really I could go too deep into the subject of clouds but I won't (for now). All I know is the same God who makes those clouds so beautiful created me and that Blows my mind. Andrew one day told me he is scared to ride with me because I spend most of my drive staring at the sky and talking about the clouds haha That really makes me laugh. I love my brother.

#2 My bed in Jackson... I love my bed because it really is the most comfortable bed. I had a great bed in my dorm room (the one that blew away) and I was so worried this one would never compare. It is so soft and warm. I know it sounds silly but being in this bed almost feels like a really warm hug, it feels safe to me. It is my favorite place to go when I have had a long day. I know I seem like a loser right now and I am okay with that. I love sleeping, I love naps, I love curling up in the blankets when I am cold... I love my bed. Hopefully someday my husband will be okay with sleeping in a twin because I don't think I will ever get rid of this bed ;)

#3 Little House on the Prairie... I love it! I know this is weird. In that wagon shaped box is every season or movie or special show of LHOP that has ever been. I can't really decide why I like it so much because I would never survive on the Prairie. It is full of drama but not the same kind of trashy drama on the Jersey Shore or Real Housewives. Life just seems so simple even though they had so much work to do! It is crazy for me to watch and just think about how much life has changed since that time. Sometimes I catch myself thinking why don't they just call his cell phone or turn on the light haha Also I love Ma. You know in the Bible in 1 Peter 3:3-4 it says "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." I never really understood the gentle and quiet spirit part. When I was younger I thought oh God means I should be quiet and timid and weak like a lady... but I don't think that is it. I think of "Ma" as the lady described in this verse even though she is just a character. She is not timid or weak, she stands up for those she loves, she works hard and never complains. And her spirit just seems gentle and quiet to me.. She seems to have a calming affect on all she comes in to contact with... Now that is a lady! I want to be a lady like 1 Peter 3:3-4 describes. I wouldn't mind being more like Ma (minus the field work and even though I have heard I am a Mary).... haha that was a lot but really I love Little House on the Prairie.

So I will probably start just doing one a week since I am overly wordy but for this week there are three and I love them all... maybe next week I will get a life and have cooler favorite things but I kinda like my boring sleepy simple life :) And maybe sooner or later I will even figure out how to use this fancy camera of mine.
