Blogs are kind of a silly thing. Sometimes I wonder, why is it that I keep this? I'm not in VN anymore--I dont need to keep people updated on the life that is happening far away. Maybe I just like the sound of my own words? Maybe it's just egotistical nonsense? Quite possibly. For a while I didn't write very much. Recently I have been more. Its a nice thing to fill the spaces I have between various activities; I enjoy brainstorming ideas for it during the day despite the fact that the majority of the time I dont write anything worth while. But I don't know, I like having it. I like remembering through my past blogs. I like tracking when I write and what I feel compelled to actually post. So for now, I'll keep it.
And if I'm going to keep it, I might as well put it to good use. I was inspired by the blog of a beautiful friend who excells at dwelling on happy things. Once upon a time, she encouraged me to write a tangible list of things that make me smile. It was one of the greatest things I've ever done--I started and just couldn't stop. I had that notebook of things that made me happy for years. I mean, who doesn't love lists?! And lists of completely random and ridiculous, as well as sincere, things that bring you joy? Well now, if that isn't just the simpliest and greatest idea ever. Unfortunately I then had this brillant idea to make my list more "creative" and through an attempt at making it cool completely ruined it. Conveniently, lists are easily rewritten.
So for a week, my blog will be my list. Well, my one a day list. You will get to hear whatever it is that brings me complete and utter joy each day. Maybe even some music. Because...well...why not!? Technically it's Sunday now, so today will probably have another post to serve as my first installment of the list of pure joy. You're excited, I just know it ;)
Ok, actually, I can't wait. Today this song is bringing me A LOT of joy. I'm months and months behind, but it makes me think of August and being in Akron, PA and it just..well, it just makes me smile:
