It's the little things

So, lately I have noticed there are little, seemingly inconsequential, things in life that can make or break a day. Today I'm choosing to forget all the little breakers and focus on the little makers of great days. I am compiling a small list for your enjoyment. I'd love to hear what would make your list

• The sound that high heels make
• A wink (when used appropriately)
• Inside jokes
• When a little kid recognizes you and smiles
• Knowing someone in class on the first day
• Flowers, in general
  
• An unexpected gift
• Gangsta talk
• Sunshiney/Cold days
• Rain
• The stillness of stargazing nights
• Songs that get stuck in your head
• Chance meetings with old friends
• Chance meetings with new friends
• Knowing when you meet someone they are going to be your friend
• Puns
• Well placed sarcasm
• The color yellow
• Sherbet
  
• QT
• Cheesy romantic comedies
• Quoting lines from movies in everyday conversations
• Hugs

Maybe there are more. But, I'm going to enjoy today with these things in mind. May the Lord bless you in the little things.

Feels good to be a gangsta.

We gathered together a gang of thugs over the course of the ski trip 2k8. I thought I would offer to the general public my qualifications for being named "4:30 Dirty"

• The idea of "4:30" is from the placement a hat, ponytail, scarf, or hoodie.
  
• My skin is darker than the others.
• The term "dirty Mexican" is not altogether original.

This is my father. Clearly, gangsta coolness runs in my blood.

Perchance, I will add my myriad of qualifications later. These will suffice until then.

Generic Christmas entry

Merry Christmas to the five of you who might be diligent enough to find this newb's blog. I have long wanted to blog, but I have little perseverance and a little hint of a perfectionism, so we'll see how long this goes. Enjoy today, my friends.
