How I Pinterest my Day!

Full of Sunshine

6:25 AM- My alarm goes off but I slept in anyway, enjoying every little bit of my bed I could until the last possible second.
7:45 Am-While rushing out the door I was happy to discover all the snow had melted!
8:00 Am: Graphic Design- I'm in class...but where is the guest speaker?
8:10 AM: I have been thinking a lot lately about those people who just always make your day and I've been thinking about how maybe I might not get the chance to do all the things I want to do in life but I sure can make others days like they make mine. So I tried it out and discovered a surprise that was happy.

*This one particular girl is in two of my classes this semester and keeps sitting by me and talking to me. I've been thinking this was a little annoying but today I thought maybe there is a reason she always sits next to me and maybe I can make her day. So I tried to have a real conversation with her instead of just patiently listening before I could concentrate on my own thoughts. And I discovered I really like
her! I think I made a new friend today. =)*

Which led me to a conclusion:

*Sam! Quit judging people! Its rude and you are never right about them.*

9:20 Am- Class ends at 10:45 but still no guest speaker so I headed home to take a shower before my next class at 11:00 which made my decision to sleep in this morning worth every little bit of it! Plus no regrets of not having time for make up, no breakfast, or forgetting to put on deodorant because I was heading home anyway!
11:30 AM- Showed off my ugly lopsided creation I call a bowl to my ceramics class and we all shared a good laugh about it, including the teacher. But I didn't care because thats the first time I've ever threw on a wheel and was a little proud I made something.
12:30- Got out of ceramics class early (it goes till 1:45) so I headed home again! I've noticed over the years while going to school that I walk unusually fast, passing people left and right! I don't know why-maybe the cold winters have trained me to walk to class faster. Whatever the reason I've discovered a happy thing!

*Making race car noises in my head while passing people makes my monotonous school days a lot more fun!*

Today while riding my bike home I had another happy discovery!

*Being a Nascar driver is ten times better on a bike! You pass way more people at much faster speeds!*

Because of this discovery I even raced a few bikes while speeding home. I'm glad I didn't tell them we were racing though because they all lost and I didn't want to ruin their day. Mine was going so good.
12:45-2:45- I got to spend extra time with my husband-free of homework- on our lunch break. We even got to watch this weeks episode of Heros which I always look forward to!
2:45-Heading back on campus to my Illustration class and another happy discovery!

*Not only did all the snow melt this morning but it was now considerably much much warmer and the sun was kinda shinning!*

3:00-6:00 PM:Illustration Class- Brother Carter complimented my art work! He told me I was a very talented designer and that any of my sketches will work very well for our project! I don't get compliments from my art teachers very often...almost never! And never this sincere of one! It felt good! This current project we are doing made me think a lot in class today about all the little things and people that make me happy...which made me feel happy inside. I also came up with a lot of good ideas for our final project at the end of the semester that also made me feel happy inside.
6:00 PM: Walking Home- My last discovery was the happiest of all!

*sixteen dollars deserted on the street-all alone-just waiting for a warm pocket to walk by and claim it! Well nobody else was around to do it-so I did!*


Now I'm home feeling full of sunshine because of all my happy discoveries today! Thanks for putting up with this odd and long post because it was my way of expressing my gratitude for my happy day!Did you make any happy discoveries today?

  1. You are too cute!! I'm so glad that you're here to point out all the goodness in life! I feel much too brain dead at the moment to really recognize anything! So thanks for making my day and causing me to stop and think about how grateful I am for all of the wonderful blessings I have in my life! :)

  3. I just love you! Thanks for the post. It made me realize how grateful I am for my students. They all have their little quirks and mistakes that they make, but then they do those sweet, little, perfectly innocent things that are hard to describe that just make my heart melt and make my days so awesome! Thanks for making me stop and realize that.

  4. Never appoligize for posting or sharing a rambling thought, as often those are the most insightful. It is always good to get a reminder of the wonderful things in life, the things that make us happy no matter how silly someone might think of them. Thanks for the smile, they are always welcome! :)
