| Instructions: Name 10 of life's simple pleasures that you like the most, then pick 10 people to do the same. Try to be original and creative; try not to use things that someone else has already used.
gotten from my dear, mary <3 (btw: my "y" button is screwed, so if i don't type it, y'all know what i mean. xD) my simple things will be quite weird, but you know me.
- Smiles - those are the best things in my life. i realized what that guy who came to our school said was true, you sometimes don't even pass a day without somebody genuinely smiling at you. i'm so utterly grateful that all my friends, or some people that i sometimes talk to will give me the effort to smile and wave at me every time they see me. i try to do it back, because it makes you feel good to be noticed. you walk away from them with a smile on your own face, something that i really appreciate. <3
- My Ability to Pray - okay, so i'm weird. but it is one of life's simple pleasures, my ability to follow whatever type of guidance that i need and that i could never find in a material things. my ability to just smile and rest, and pray is one of the most significant parts of my life. this way, i know that I'm never alone, and never without somebody to push me along in the right past, and letting my mistakes and sins create a better person. being able to pray gives me a sense of calm and an understanding and happiness for life.
- Chocolate - teehee. being able to eat chocolate always cheers me up. when i'm down and sad, i need something comforting. chocolate sure is comforting, and it doesn't even make me fat!
 it's my calming device.
- Famiy + Friends - These go together, because they are such significant things in my life. They're perhaps the most important things that I'll ever have to anticipate. I have a loving family, who has shaped me, taught me morals, made me understand why my life has been the way it is, and i'm nothing but grateful and happy for the fact that I am so lucky to have this opportunity of a wonderful life and parents who take care of me, and a sister that does nothing but love me and support me. My friends, who have seen me cry, have seen me fall, but laugh with me, and still make me feel like i'm the best, i could never live without them. These people are just so important, and I would never let them fade if i could help it. thanks guys <3 love y'all.
- Running in the Rain - it's the best. sure, it gets nasty and your hair ends up smelling bad, and a shower is in tow. but still...it's so much fun. how else do you mange to be carefree and all you're thinking of us is running around. how fun is that?
- Singing - if there is one thing i had to do for the rest of my life, i'd sing the whole way through. i love it, and it makes me feel carefree. how natural is it? free and it sounds nice. (well...to myself. not to other ppl.
 ) but it makes me so happy to sing, one of my absolute favorite gifts from God. i appreciate the feeling that i get to make that music, sing a gorgeous tune, and listen along to the radio, fall asleep listening to music. the voice is an incredible tool.
- Dancing - i love it. it's incredible. i wish i could take some classes, but i'll probably fit that in during college once my parents don't control how i spend my time. ;) i love doing it, it makes you feel good and carefree, and performing is just awesome. therefore, dancing is a simple pleasure. listen to any music and your body just goes along with it. awesome.
- Love - not necessarily what i'd call life's simplest pleasure, but what would we be without it? the whole world would be hatred and awful, and we'd never find the ppl we're meant to be with, never find our friends and family, and never be accepted. society sucks, and we need love just to get along and to feel confident. i love seeing ppl take care of each other, and that's why i want to be involved in so many charities and help out people. we're so lucky, and each day i pray for the luck that i have, and how much God has given me. if given the opportunity to help others, why not take it? it's so much fun and so lovely to see others smile in thankfulness. just like this homeless man playing his saxophone in the streets of new york city, my mom told me give him 2 quarters. playing his saxophone, he paused and he said "thank you, princess." he was this old man, with a kind heart, but perhaps had a hard background behind him that stopped him. perhaps he never went to school, and nobody would take him, and trying to go to school, he would have no money and society would stop him. everybody needs a little bit more of love and compassion. i'd give him hundreds of dollars if i could.
- beaches and whatnot - ever been alone real early along the beach? the rush of air and beautiful water, the sound of the waves, it's so beautiful and peaceful. plus, i love how in ocean city if you wake up around 5:00, you see the sun rise and dolphins off a bit into the distance. it's a beautiful place to be, and you're at peace with the world, and comfortable in that place, and you feel so at home. the same goes for most landmarks, like canyons. or evergoing places. when i go to bandelier monument, it's up high and you look down, you feel like you're on top of the world and feeling so at comfort. i'm not so much an outdoors person, but i always get this sensation of peace and awareness of how lucky i am once i get to see nature's best.
- Hugs - if you know me, you know i'm a "hug" person. most ppl, i can't leave the day without hugging them, unless i don't really see them towards the end of the day, or sometimes i don't. hrm. anyways, i love my friends and i love being around them. when my parents hug me, i'm so comforted and i feel safe. it's so nice to feel loved and cared about, and when you hug them, you can return the favor and let them know how much they mean to you. <33
so in all of that, basically, i love everybody <3 
umm..i don't have that many ppl to tag. i'll just put like a few.
