I recently watched "We Bought A Zoo", which btw is the CUTEST movie of all times and highly recommend it, but other then how good it was, it also had an amazing message in it. Which was to find that courage within you and just do something insane. Do something that you've been scared or frightened of doing. Don't think about it and just do it.

Maybe, just maybe, something great will come out of it.

School: its fine

Friends: we're cool

Church: it's true

Room: its messy

Me: ehhh

Boys: ..... could be better.

There, now that we're all caught up we can get down to the reeeeeally fun stuff(:

SMILE

+ + +

Are you ever walking down the hall at school, you turn the corner and bump into your crush.  He smiles at you, apologizes, and then walks away.  And the whole time you have this giant grin on your face, and you still have it when you walk into your next class.  Then everybody is all like, "Who is he?!"

Or do you ever have one of those hilarious conversation with one of your friends, and that whole rest of the day the conversation keeps rerunning through your head so you're smiling at yourself like an idiot?

or

Do you ever just say hello to someone and you keep smiling as you walk down the hall?

Yeah, me too(: 

Don't you love it? Don't you love how you can smile and be happy?

And even if it's not you, but you're just a witness of someone walking down the hallway's by themselves smiling. Don't you love to know that, for whatever reason, they're happy??? It makes me smile when others are smiling.  And i'm sure when they see you smiling, it makes their day that much better!

Be happy, smile, have fun.

And Remember: 

Happiness spreads. So spread it. 

You are somebody's reason to smile. (:

Last year I started "My Happy Book."

It's where I write down everything that makes me happy.

The smell of freshly cut grass

A light breeze

The sunset

Getting a letter in the mail

Autumn leaves

Good, uplifting music

Baptisms for the dead

Hearing laughter

 Thunderstormssssssssssss <3

 Hot Cocoa

Clean room

The feeling of accomplishment

Soccer

An answer to my prayer

+ + +

Those are just a few I wrote down. But there are tons of things out there that make us happy.  I found that if we focus on the happy things in our life, instead of everything that's going wrong, we will find ourselves a lot happier and closer to our Heavenly Father.

So try it! Make yourself a "Happy Book."

Go back to it when you're not having a good day, and remind yourself of everything that makes you happy(: Because when you're happy...you're BEAUTIFUL!

"Weshew" FAITH!

So, I might have a slight obsession. Okay, Just kidding. Its wayyyyy past obsession!

But just look at 'em. Aren't they just the most adorable group of boys you have ever seen.  I got tickets for their concert coming up July 25, 2013. Yeah. Next year.  I have to what a WHOLE year to see them live! But at least I got good and cheap tickets right? haha yeah, they're pretty much the love of my life. (:

Brighten someone's day

+ + +

Do you know what I have noticed? At school hundreds of students pass by each other in the halls each and every day. But do we really get to know everyone? Do we say 'hello' to those we do know? After watching this for a while, a pattern became apparent. Here we all are, surrounded by hundreds of people just like us, and everyone still looks so lonely. I mean, we all have our little group of friends. But no one is looking up or smiling at those people who just need some bright sunshine.

(Psssst. The 'bright sunshine' is you!)

I thought "What could I do to make these people feel happier and more loved?" I wanted to get a megaphone and yell, "You are wonderful! You're doing such a good job in school and you are loved!" I wanted to walk up to random people and hug them, if only to make them smile. But to avoid acting like the crazy girl, I decided to actually look at other people and smile or say hi as I walked the hallways. Maybe it made someone's day brighter or maybe it didn't and I still came across as the crazy girl. But whatever it did, it didn't take much. When you think about other people and show them love by serving them, you can feel God's love for you too.

Win-win.
