This blog was supposed to be up by the beginning of the year. Yet here it is, March already, and…nothing. I don’t know why, but I can’t seem to figure out where to start. I wanted to post an intro, something meaningful, something worth a first post. But that just led to me deciding nothing was right. So, I’m just going to start somewhere. And that somewhere is with a 30 day writing challenge (that I may or may not finish, as I’m good at stopping these halfway through – but it’ll get this started).

Day 1: List 10 things that make you happy

1. Chocolate. Because chocolate fixes everything, right?
2. Sleep. The elusive thing that is often just out of my reach.
3. Waves. The sound of which is one of the few things that remotely touch my anxiety.
4. Seeing my son smile. No further explanation should be necessary.
5. The silence of a snowy winter night. Except this winter. This winter I hate snow.
6. Dogs. Because they will love you when no one else has the patience.
7. Music. No matter your mood, there’s something that will fit it. Or change it.
8. Dancing. One of maybe two things I’d risk going back in time to change. Should’ve never quit dance lessons.
9. Creating. Anything creative you put part of yourself into, or that pulls out part of you that you’ve never met.
10. Chocolate. Because all good things should start and end with chocolate.
