What are the five things that make you most happy right now?
1. My personal library. I am completely guilty of reading and re-reading books that I love. Having them on hand whenever I need a pick me up is so reassuring!
2. My babies at church. I love them so much and they bring such joy to my life. It helps me to feel hopeful that I have chosen the right career path for my life, knowing that I love the work that I do with them.
3. Looks between friends when something crazy is happening around us. Most recently, any look in class shared with Juli or Ellen, or any look over the crazy antics other people have going on in their lives shared with Crystal or Heather.
4. The new kitten, Leela. She is silly and quirky and absolutely insane.
5. The Flight of the Conchords CD that Kris made me a while back. I found it in my car and have been listening to it nonstop. It makes me laugh so much!

Day Four
Ten things you would tell your sixteen year old self, if you could:
1. Your mother is always right, even though it does not feel like it. TRUST ME!
2. You should have started studying for your permit test earlier so that you could have been driving your car sooner.
3. Though you may be close with a small group of people now, that will change. And it is not the worst thing in the world.
4. That guy, you know the one that your entire life seems to revolve around? He is not worth all the time and energy you have already invested and will continue to invest in him. He is not who God has for you, though he is a fantastic and funny guy and a goof friend.
5. No one will love you more unconditionally than your cat. (No, don't worry, you won't become a crazy cat lady. At least, I don't think you will be.)
6. You should have learned better study habits. On that same note, shame on you for always procrastinating. It won't get any better, but you will start to change this habit.
7. Your life will not follow the plan you have imagined, but do not fret. You will be so happy with the twists and turns that life takes.
8. I know we have already discussed that one certain boy, but fyi, boys aren't the only thing that God has put on this Earth. Open up your eyes and look at all the beauty God has surrounded you with.
9. You and your sister will always struggle to get along. It will get better when you go to college but new challenges will always come up. Just remember, above anything that arises, you love her.
10. You should start reading for pleasure. You will find it to be such an enjoyable past time when you are older.
