happiness and inspiration

Pinned Image


I was inspired by many things in the past week.

First of all, I worked at a 5k race at work and, well, I was inspired to walk crawl skip run a 5k.

Gulp.

Well, at least I'm gonna try to run the whole thing. I started the Couch to 5k program and survived the first workout without collapsing.

So, in other words, a strong start! ;)

Another thing that inspired me was a post on happiness by my girl Leslie at A Blonde Ambition. You can read the original post here.

She started using the hashtag #HappinessIs on Twitter and listed the things that are making her happy currently. I was so inspired by her happiness list, that I decided to do my own.

1. Late night (read: 8:45 pm) runs to Walgreens for cookies with Hewitt. #HappinessIs
2. New Girl. Enough said. #HappinessIs
3. Consuming said cookies while watching New Girl. #HappinessIs
4. Accepting an interim worship leader position at my church while they search for a new worship pastor. #HappinessIs
5. Statement necklaces. #HappinessIs
6. A faithful God. #HappinessIs
7. Hibachi chicken. Seriously, I can't stop thinking about it. #HappinessIs
8. Sunburn that has, for once in my life, faded to TAN. #HappinessIs
9. Growing my shoe collection by one more pair. #HappinessIs
10. My furchild Hewitt, who wards off loneliness like nobody's business. #HappinessIs

    1. Thank you. And, well, this might create a monster. But, I have a slight problemo...I've never cooked rice before. You see, in most cases I despise rice and would never eat it because it's weird. But in this situation it's a meal necessity. Because of my recent discovery of this deliciousness, I've not attempted cooking rice yet. Suggestions?
