- On My Mind -

This post was inspired by my friend, Laura. Her inspiration was found in InSyle Magazine (naturally), and where they found their inspiration, well that's a mystery.

Things that I currently "cannot" live without:

1.) My journal. I actually have two, one for writing more of a general overview of my life and the other for being more candid with. The latter, being a recent gift from my friend which she put in my school mailbox.

2.) Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds. Isn't the fact that I polish off a 17 serving, family- size box in seven days indication enough of my love?

3.) My Ipod. Running, studying ... yeah, that basically covers it, but seeing that I do A LOT of both, it's pretty much a life saver.

4.) The Dear Frankie soundtrack, solely for the piano music which always calms me after a stressful day.

5.) My passport. Yes, I realize I haven't gone anywhere recently, but the fact that I have it, waiting to be stamped again, makes me very, very happy.

6.) Ok, this may be an odd one, but my long hair. It took awhile to grow it out, and now that it's long I can twist it into a long spiral then make a bun on the back of my head. I love just sitting in class and twisting it -- makes me very glad to be a girl.

7.) Juice Stop smoothies, #27.

8.) My nine dollar Target "kick- it" shorts. Paired up with a white tank, these shorts bring comfort to evenings and Sunday afternoons that I never knew possible.

9.) Wednesday night dinners with the London girls. Experiencing a home-cooked meal, consistent friendship, and lots of laughs comes at a perfect point on Wednesday. My time with them is truly a blessing.

10.) Dreams. This may sound cheesy, but bouncing ideas in my head about where life is going to take me next, what it is I really want/what God has for me, and all the possibilities that I consider everyday, gives my life just the hope and spice it needs.
