It took me long enough to publish the post but here goes!!

5.- Copy and paste the rules.

Here is what makes me smile!  

Books! I love all kinds of books and am embarrassed to admit that my favorite ones are usually fiction horror mystery and Philosophy. 
I don’t want to seem like a dork who reads philosophy books all day and don’t want to seem like a creep who reads books about (fictional) serial killers and stuff. Lol I also love personal development books! And I have recently become more interested in supernatural thrillers! I don’t believe in the supernatural but love reading about ghosts and stuff! I love legal and medical thrillers too and am now more interested in science fiction than I used to be. 
I don’t like true murder mysteries and stuff because I don’t get off on people’s suffering. I think real serial killer books and shows are absolutely disgusting.  But the fiction ones are good!
But this is not a book post so enough of that!     😀

Animals! All kinds! ❤ 😀

Friends/family (this one is cliche and sometimes I avoid it on my gratitude lists and all but it's true, friends/family are one of life's greatest blessings! Both online friends and off!

Ice cream! 😀

Hugs! 

Helping people! 

Random or any acts of kindness! 

Beautiful blogs! 

Rain! 

Blue skies!

Seeing someone else smile! 😀

Babies(and any little kids)! Aww ❤ My heart just melts when I see a baby! I automatically have a strong urge to hold the little cutie(but I would be too afraid! Lol)! 😀

My job! I love it! I work at an ice cream store! 

There's so much more! I can go on n on forever!

Best Days <3

Jun1

An older post of mine about celebrating the simple things in life, the mundane, the often overlooked. It doesn’t have to be an unusual kind of day, a vacation, a big event, an anniversary…for it to be a best day! 😀 ❤

“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson 

This post is about a day that I can say with complete certainty is one of the best days I ever experienced. I can’t say I have one day that is “the best day of my life.” I have occasions many days that I can say qualify as “the best.” And I don’t think there should be just one or a few days that are the best. I want to make every day as best as possible. Some will be better than others. Some will even suck for the most part and that’s quite alright!

But some days really stand out to me as the absolute best! And Monday, June 1st, 2015 is one such day!

Why do I remember the date? I’m really not sure. Maybe because it’s the first…

Two kinds of beauty

“There are two types of beauty. The one that smacks you across the face and is plastered on magazine covers. And then there’s the type that grows on you. The one you don’t expect. The one that poets and authors write about, the eternal kind.”

This isn’t my photo. While, it’s great to appreciate both kinds of beauty, I agree that inner beauty is the deepest kind and more worthy of celebration. And not just the beauty of people but of all of life. Life is full of all kinds of beauty. My word this year for the one word challenge is beauty so this is a great quote for that!

I want to remind us all to live intentionally and consciously look for beautiful people & things everywhere! 😀

❤ 😀

Much love & light,

xoxo Kim
