1. Sand between my toes.
2. Sun on my face.
3. Bear hugs.
4. Not having to say a word.
5. Crunchy peanut butter and crackers.
6. S'mores.
7. Napping.
8. Travelling; so many places, such little time...and money!
9. Spontaneous moments.
10. Tattoos.
11. Art; every and any kind...I can totally appreciate all of it.
12. Sports; playing them, watching them...pretty much all of it.
13. Wings and beer...that one had to be said!
14. Sushi and Mexiican food!
15. Getting dressed up and having a fancy cocktail.
16. Meeting new people that you know you will be friends with.
17. That silly butterfly in the tummy feeling.
18. Music; too many kinds that I like to elaborate on that!
19. The idea of karma and fate.

Short Blurb on Life Lessons
Have you ever been so confused how life is taking you that you feel like you can't take anymore? It's so ironic how everytime I've hit this point, I seem to have come to a revelation!
It's always a moment that will catch me off guard too. Like when I feel so stressed out and aren't sure where to go or what to do, that I will have a moment of clarity. This moment can be just a tiny little glimpse into how you want your future to go that it clears your head of every worry...or at least puts everything into perspective. Like earlier today, I got a call from my sister-in-law and ended up talking to my niece. She is such a little bubble of energy that it makes me smile all the time, even though she's exhausting! After I talked to her, I felt a little more centred and calm.
These are the moments that I love; you can be feeling so crappy, but such a little thing like talking to a loved one or having a chat with a friend can set things back into motion.
These are the moments that keep you going and make you walk tall with a purpose! I love those moments and I know that there are always going to be those moments to pull me back up when I think I just want to curl up in bed and not face anything!

A Positive Note!
This post may differ from the ones I've done before! I want to have a happy moment!
I would like to start off by saying how much I have been enjoying life. Even though I have been working two jobs and am a full-time student, I am at a great stage of my life!
I have met some of the greatest people in the past few months and because of that, have learned so much about myself! I've come to realize that I am actually happy, after being through so much in that past years. It feels really good that I am surrounded by people that really appreciate me and that I feel the same way about.
I have a few really close friends, and I've met more people that I know will become the same way.
I am so glad that I finally feel this way, it's taken me long enough!!! :)
I hope that other people can have this moment in their life where they actually feel happy...no matter how tired or rundown you feel. At the end of the day, it's all worth it!!!!

To All of Those Who Need Some Tips on Dining Out!!!!
As someone who have been in the service industry for over 10 years, I would like to create a small list of how to conduct yourself while eating in restaurants! This doesn't matter if you are eating at a 4-diamond or the pub around the corner....or, at the college pub!!!!
#1- Please, when your server asks how you are doing today, be nice...even fake it, it's our job be friendly you can at least say that you're doing well!
#2- If you're not ready to order something, feel free to say that you need a couple of minutes. Us servers do have other tables and other things to do other than wait for you to make a decision!
#3- When your server brings you your drink, please give them a little room to place then down on the table. Preferably, sit still so we can place it to your right.
#4- When your table is ready to order and your server comes to take your order, please pay a little bit of attention so I'm not staring at you with a fake smile waiting for you to tell me what you want. Things will be over faster this way = your meal will come out faster!
#5- A good server will likely try to keep your table clear of empty dishes and glasses. So, when we come to clear these items, it's similar to rule #3.
#6- Even if you are a slob, could you try not to be while dining out. Put dirty napkins on your plate so I don't have to touch them! It's kinda gross!
#7- Here's the big one!!! Tipping! Now I do realize that this is a privilege and not a right, but please, be courteous! The standard 15% applies and is usually considered the minimum. If service was good, please...feel free to tip more!!! If it was bad, you should have said something throughout the meal and things could have been taken care of! It's your fault at this point and you should still tip!
Hopefully, some of these will enlighten you on the proper ways to conduct yourself in restaurants! I realize that many people do follow these, but you know who you are that don't!!!!
