Happy Thoughts on Thursday

So it's the little things in life that make me happy.

Sunrise/Sunset

Swimming in the rain.

A cozy room.

A campfire.

And then...the little things we do to show someone we love them.

Well...I got Pinterest sometime in June and trust me when I tell you it's AMAZING.

But here are some photos that I just find beautiful.

They also encourage me to do everything I can to have healthy skin.

Good gravy these women look perfect.

Happy Thoughts on Thursday

O

Oh. You've Got Mail.

One of the best movies ever.

I love the above sequence because I love morning.

I also love cities.

And I daydream of waking up in the morning in my city loft, getting dressed, and walking out the door to purchase coffee at my local coffee shop.

And ya know, if I'm pressed for cash(thanks, loft)...I'll make my OWN coffee (french press please) and pour my coffee into my perfect to go mug...and then walk out my front door and immediately be greeted by city sounds. I would love to walk side by side with people who are on their way to work. I would love to wait at a crosswalk with a group of people...on their way to work. And in my head...it's always fall. So we all have coats on and an assortment of briefcases, purses, back packs, and messenger bags.

And then on the weekends?

Breakfast at a coffee shop/cafe. Allll the way.

I just like cities.

And I can't wait to one day go to New York City.

Something about the spirit of a city...it makes me all giddy.

oh.

I like coffee too.

Call me cliche, call me hipster, call me indie, roll your eyes...call me what you want.

BUT just know that I truly do love men with beards.

You have a full on manly beard?

My heart is yours.

Robert Rabinsteiner?

I have a crush on you.

ok. and William Fitzsimmons...I have a crush on you as well.

1) The Mast Brothers (they make chocolate. how cool is that? here's a video: !click me! here's their website: mast brothers chocolate)

2) William Fitzsimmons. Need I say more? He's a swonderful musician. (see? he's at the bottom of my 'feast your ears' widget. but just in case...click on his name. there's his website.)

3)Robert Rabinsteiner (he's on the Sartorialist every once in a while. look, I posted about him here: cutie-pie-of-a-man)

4) Some man. via the sartorialist. He's just sooo cooooool!

5) Another random man. via the sartorialist. eh. they're just a cool couple.

did I mention my daddy always has scruff.

BUT

he'll let his scruff go full on BEARD.

yep.

He then acquires super human strength and the ability to eat crazy amounts of meat.

What is a "Happy Thought"?

Well, according to Peter Pan a Happy Thought can make you fly.

Examples: (as mentioned by Wendy and George)

-toys at Christmas

-sleigh bells and snow

Whatever makes you fly!

When I post pictures for 'Happy Thoughts on Thursday', I just find pictures that I've saved over the few weeks that have just made me happy.

Happy Thoughts inspire you. Happy Thoughts give you a tickle in your stomach because the thought just makes you feel good.

When I listen to the live version of 'The Outsiders' by NEEDTOBREATHE, every single time I hear that banjo, my stomach gets a tickle and I just smile.

The most random things can be Happy Thoughts.

Just take notice of what makes you happy. The little things in life from day to day, do they make you content?

Seeing the sunrise through a curtain...does that make you happy?

The sound of a coffee maker making you some yummy hot beverage. Does that make you happy?

The 'click' of a film camera whilst capturing a memory...does that make you happy?

Small things.

Take notice.

Snow and Biltmore is happy, right?

Here are quite a few more Biltmore photos:

1) There she is. Such a breath taking sight.

2) But if you hike just a little further to the statue of Diana, you get a better breath taking view!

3) This might just be my favorite photo from the entire trip. I love Savanna. Sisters are a cool thing to have.

4) The three amigos. And Savanna is SO subtle with her alumni shout out...

5) View from around Antler Hill Village.

6) A lunch consisting of ordering all the appetizers and splitting them up...yummmmyyyyy. (fried mozzarella? yes.)

7) The clock tower. Apparently the second most photographed thing on the estate. (1st would be the house. duh.)

8) Yes. It was that cold. Icicles.

9) Wine tasting. I drank grape juice that tasted like dimetapp.

10) Tupelo Honey Cafe. Oh goodness. Soooo delicious.

11) Veggie Melt and sweet potato fries. To. die. for.

12) Seriously, these cups (or I guess they're "glasses") were amazing. Really thick, thick glass. I just had a thing for them.
