Seven Reasons to be Happy Today

The world is a beautiful place, and I'm kinda in love with it. So here, lemme share 7 reasons to be happy this lovely Tuesday. Maybe it can cheer up your week.

1. FLOWERS! They're everywhere here, and I love it! But I love the yellow ones the most. Yellow flowers just look so incredibly cheerful. They're my favorites of all da flowers ever.


Just look how happy this lil' flower is. Now stare into the depths of it and go be happy that yellow flowers are growing everywhere.

2. The weather. Because it's been rather lovely. (Except the random tornado, but that's Texas for ya.) The days are either drizzly and grey and perfect to read on, or they're really clear and bright. Those ones make me happy, 'cause who doesn't love sunshine?

3. School is almost over! And that's an incredibly happy thing. I only have three weeks left, and then there is freedom!

4. Painting. I bought some canvases and borrowed some of my sister's paint, and painting just makes me really happy. It also makes me messy. (Very messy.)

5. There's so much to do in this big world, and so much to try and experience. And that's definitely something to be happy about. So go love life! It's beautiful.

6. Verses like these!
Psalm 46:19 "Be still and know that I am God."
Ephesians 5:8 "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of the light."
And my favourite verses, Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Those verses all make me ponder (that's such a lovely word), and they make me happy.

And 7. NOTEBOOKS AND JOURNALS! They make me so happy. And I have way too many.
And they're so fun to do things with. Are you gonna paint in 'em, or journal deep thoughts, or doodle, or write? They're pretty wonderful, huh?

(Hahah that's just some of them.)

So,what makes you happy on this beautiful day?
