It's time for Favorite Fridays, a day where I post about some of my favorite things :)
I've been thinking about what makes me most happy quite a bit lately (besides my beautiful, darling family, of course), and sometimes I have a really hard time with it. I trust that I am not alone in spending more time focusing on the negative than is healthy for my emotional well being and mental health. So I thought perhaps I could start trying my hand at thinking more about the happy things in my life, the things that make me feel good, bring me joy, what-have-you, and letting go of the negative thoughts that drag me down and put a damper on the happy, free-spirit that I long to have.
It's funny, because I always thought of myself and being happy-go-lucky, free-spirited, cheerful, silly... but I'm starting to think that perhaps I was not perceived that way, or at least, if I ever was, I certainly am not anymore. Sure, there are people who really only know me online and therefore might see me as being far more upbeat and motivated than I really am, but believe me, I'm so not. Something happened when I got married, settled down, had kids. It changed me. Getting married and pregnant at such a young age may have had a big part in that, who knows. Anyway, the important thing is that I am so ready to be done with all of that. I really want to move on, to grow, to explore, to live, to have fun and stop taking things so seriously, to be more spontaneous, to go on adventures, to worry less, to create more, to play more, to trust in the plan God has for me.
Wow. Okay, so that bit of writing turned out to be more serious than I was planning for this post... funny how that can happen! I guess I needed to write some things out and didn't even realize it. So now I feel a "now what?" moment hitting me! Haha :P I mean, here I was planning on just listing out something like "my top 5 movies of all time" or something as equally light-hearted and now I feel pressured to do something more.
Whatever. I'm just going to embrace the original plan for this post and get on with it! Hey, it's 2:39 in the a.m. and I need to get to bed.
So, here we go. In no particular order, here are my top five favorite colors of the moment:
*Yellow*
*Turquoise*
*Plum*
*Orange*
*Green*
I seriously would have never thought that my top color choices would include yellow, orange, and green if you had asked me 5 years ago. Funny how that happens! But, yes, I do so love these colors and wish that I had lots of pretty, fun clothing in these colors and home interiors in these colors, and jewelry in these colors, and nail polish (not that I ever paint my nails cause I'm seriously low maintenance) in these colors, and... well, you get the idea.
What colors are you craving at the moment?
P.S. Have you checked out Pinterest? It is AWESOME! I found all these lovely images on Pinterest and you could honestly get lost in there, it's that wonderful. I'll write more about it later :)
Be Happy!
