Day 14 - a convo that makes you happy (from a movie, chat or whatever)

Tonight I had a date with my best friend, Kristin.  That always makes me happy.  We had some sushi, some wine and some much needed catch up time.  It wasn't what was said, or what we were talking about, or this specific conversation that made me happy...it was just talking to her.  We have been friends for a better part of a decade, lived together for over 4 years, moved to Florida together...and have been through ALOT together.  Unfortunately, we don't see eachother as much as we'd like.  It's hard syncing up our schedules...lawyers and massage therapists don't generally run on the the same time table.  It's great when we do get together, just the two of us.  Hopefully, we will both make an effort to hang out more often.  I had a great time and I'm so happy to have her in my life.

Day 13 - a movie that makes you happy

If you've never seen How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, I highly recommend it!  It is one of my all-time favorite movies.  I love Kate Hudson.  She is a stellar actress.   Just like her mom.  =)   I'm also a huge fan of Matthew McConaughey.  He's a great actor...and not too bad on the eyes! 

I've watched this movie so much, I'm surprised my dvd still runs properly.  It is a great mix of romance and comedy.  A great chick flick but still enough substance to keep a guy entertained.  It's made me laugh.  It's made me cry.  It's made me wistful.  It's made me hopeful.  

And it has definitely made me smile.

I didn't have to think very long or hard to decide who I would write about today. I have an amazing boyfriend who embodies all the words I described above. I feel so blessed to have Adam in my life. I can't help but smile when I reflect on the last year (...and one month and 3 weeks).

He makes me feel like a princess.  He still opens up doors for me...something that I have now become so accustomed to that I have actually stood in front of a car door with other people expecting it to miraculously open for me.  He makes me laugh...not a hard task, but heart-warming all the same.

He makes me feel secure.  Protected.  Safe.  Special.  Loved.  There is no better feeling than when he has his arms wrapped around me.  The rest of the world completely disappears in those moments.  I have no fears.  I have no stress.  I have no worries.  I only have hope.  Love.  Comfort.

I can't wait to see what God has in store for both of us...as a couple and individually.  I don't know what it will be, but I know it will be great. 

I love you A-pop.

Day 11 - a story of something that made you happy today

Hmmm...this may be a toughie.  Today wasn't necessarily a bad day...but not a great one either.  It was just...a day.

My houseguests went back to NY - bittersweet.  I enjoy having my house to myself but it was a super short visit and I really don't feel like I got to spend any time with Cassie.  I went to work - lackluster.  As much as I love my career, I really really REALLY don't like my job.  It was freezing today and ridiculously windy  - annoyed.  I do not enjoy being cold.  I came home and took a nap - tired.  A power nap just didn't energize the way I had hoped it would.  Watched TV and worked on Masons (my nephew) chrisrmas present - frustrated.  Apparently I need a new iron to do the next step.  And now, I am laying in bed trying to come up with something for this blog.

On the other hand, I worked on one of my favorite clients today.  She always brightens my mood.  I also did a hot stone - my favorite modality to do - and that client was such a delight.  He had such a positive disposition and we had a great talk throughout the massage.  I worked on Masons christmas gift - I know, I listed that already, but I can't wait to finish it and see my sister use it.

So that was pretty much my day today.  Not great, not bad.  Nothing to complain about.  No particular stories that made me happy.  Maybe I'll revisit this blog topic another day.  What made you happy today?

Day 10 - a youtube video that makes you happy

Okay, this one was easy.  Watching (hearing) my boyfriend sing and play guitar makes me happy (swoon), so a youtube video of him doing just that is the clear winner.

It's an acoustic cover of Something Beautiful by Needtobreathe.  The quality isn't great (he's in the process of getting a new mic), but the song is one of my favorites and Adam sounds great!

Keep an eye on his youtube!  He's constantly learning new songs and looking for the best ones to showcase his God-given talent.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
