[CHALLENGE: LIFE'S BIG LISTS]

"It's good to be just plain happy, it's a little better to know that you're happy; but to understand that you're happy and to know why and how and still be happy, be happy in the being and the knowing, well that is beyond happiness, that is bliss." —Henry Miller

Write a five-item list of the things that bring you bliss.

1) The laughter of a child
2) The silly antics of a kitten
3) A red wine buzz
4) Getting lost in a long slow kiss with the man I love
5) Being in the creative zone, finishing a project (a painting, drawing, website, etc..) and feeling satisfied with the end result.

1. Not seeing or hearing from a friend for six months, then running into them a picking up exactly where you left off, as if you saw them everyday.
2. A pint of ice cream, any flavor will do.
3. A day in the tattoo parlor getting tattooed, or just hanging out.
4. Spending Sunday afternoon hanging out with my folks in their garage talking about our hopes and dreams. (or napping in the comfy chairs)
5. Falling in love at a total stranger, yes I meant to type at.

1. Radiating beams of heat from the sun
2. Rediscovering an old song and realizing why you loved it so much in the first place and/or finding new meaning in it
3. Reunions with old friends and realizing nothing has changed and/or everything has changed
4. When I except the concept of time and can just look into the sky and be okay with everything.
5. Being a hopeless romantic and knowing that Mr. Right is somewhere.

1. Sitting around the same table, drinking the same drinks, listening to the same songs with the same people week in and week out and never ever getting sick of it.

2. The feeling of first walking into a music festival and hearing one of my favourite songs being played by my favourite DJ and wanting to explode from excitement all over again.

3. Having a family that I'm also friends with and love spending time with.

4. Dancing and singing until I break my shoes, have no voice, sore feet, unknown bruises and a ridiclous grin on my face.

5. A new relationship that feels new months in and being able to lay in bed with that person for hours on end, and be insanely happy.

1. When i haven't seen my best friend for ages, i always think it's going to be awkward at first but then there's always this one point where we both laugh and are thinking exactly the same thing.
2. When the perfect song comes on either the radio or on a shuffled playlist.
3. When my little brother does something unexpected and it makes me realise that he's growing up and not little anymore.
4. When me and my girlfriend sit down with a pizza, a huge bottle of pepsi, a film and just relax.
5. Remembering that someone is proud of me and loves me for who i am.
