Things that make me happy.

Or more specifically things that make me happy.

I've decided that way to many of my posts have been negative, or depressing so here is something different.

• Books- Books make me unbelievably happy.  Even when they make me cry.  As long as I can remember I've loved books and reading.  A lot of times they were (and still often are) the only thing that could get me through what was going on in my life.  I can escape into some far off place, or someone else life, and not have to think about or deal with mine.  I can experience feelings that have escaped me in real life, ones that I have yet had the luck to experience.

• Summer Rains- Warm Summer rain that is.  The kind that are heavy and steady.  You walk out and can stand in them for a few minutes and come back completely soaked but not uncomfortable.  Just being out this kind of rain, playing in it, dancing around, or just sitting in it...it makes me feel content, happy, calm.

• Hugs, kissing, cuddling, holding hands-  These are all things I love so I grouped them together because I like them for pretty much the same reasons.  I love human contact, most of the time.  I find it comforting.  It reassures me that I'm not alone, that I'm cared for.  I like hugs because well I do.  I like holding  hands because I got lost when I was little and it terrifies me to think it could happen so I like knowing that someone is there with me.  Cuddling it just nice, I like being warm and the whole human contact thing is lovely.  Kissing..well kissing is fun.  It also has a bunch of health benefits.  I also enjoy getting kissed on the head.  Its just a lovely sign of affection and I don't get those that often.

• Food- enough said

• Music- any kind of music.  It gets me out of my head which is always a good thing.

• Sleeping.
