a cure for S.A.D.

Maybe its the Seasonal Affective Disorder, the endless drizzly days, or just a general and pervasive sense of ennui that I feel right now, but in an effort to combat the winter blues I'm composing a list of things that make me happy.

1. for the past 3 days I have heard a bird chirping in the morning outside my window.
2. It was sunny this morning. The crisp air, and warmth of the sun took me back to days in Germany on the lake shore.
3. Dark Chocolate
4. Aveda tea
5. good conversations
6. Butterflies
7. Observing the better points of human kindness and generosity
8. Praying for random people just because I feel compelled to
9. Films with a good plot and nice resolution at the end
10. the book - Daughter of Fortune by Isabel Allende- it was delicious writing!
11. dancing
12. Ray LaMontagne
13. my "little felon"
14. good $ales
15. new fingernail polish
16. when someone remembers an important day! like my birthday!!
17. new beginnings
18. old friends
19. hearing other people's stories
20. my favorite blog - awkwardthingsisaytogirls.com
21. local indie bands
22. a fine, handcrafted Stumptown latte
