Ten things that make me happy this month...

    This January has been a pretty bland mixture of revision, work and just generally being busy (with the occasional hot chocolate thrown in there). But it's not been all bad... just not blog-worthy, which is the main reason that I haven't blogged in so long (a whole 25 days!!!) along with my recent lack of blogging fuel. So, this is just a quick, reflective post on my January:

1. Celebrating my lovely friend's 16th- Happy Birthday again Rhi!

2. Getting tickets to see Ed Sheeran *screams*

3. Spending time blog surfing, and finding some amazing new blogs!

4. Having a nice hot drink (in my favorite mug) after walking home from school.

5. Meeting the smallest pony I have ever seen!!!

6.Hand cream- hand cream always makes me happy...

7. Seeing my whole family.

8. Watching Taylor Swift's Grammy performance- pure genius.

9. Rereading one of my all time favorite books...

10. And finally, having a rather dramatic hair cut...

Here's to another month!

This week's discovery

  This weeks been...well, not the best of weeks, which is partially why I haven't written  for so long.

  There's just one thing I've learnt from all the trouble this week that I hope we can all learn from, and it is that not everything is permanent. Things you think would be a constant in your life, whether its something you depend on or just something you love, we take them for advantage. We've all heard the phrase 'you don't know what you've got until its gone', and usually it's coming from an older and wiser persons' mouth, but no matter how well equipt you are for what can go wrong, there's always something you're not quite prepared for or you didn't expect to be taken away from you.

  It's human nature to take advantage of things, and it's incredibly easy to do. I know I don't appreciate how lucky I am most of the time, it's not for lack of trying. Sometimes I simply forget-but that's okay, I just need to try harder to appreciate the simplicity of my life and all the opportunities that I'm given. This week has also taught me that you really have to work to maintain all those things you love, because sometimes they're not handed to you on a plate- this week my friends have been the perfect example of this!

10 things that made me happy this week...

I saw somebody do this post, and thought it was so cute, so here we go...

1. Seeing my Nanna finally settle into her new house (which is lovely by the way!)

2.Going out for lunch with my Mum and sister. Ladies that lunch...how fancy!

3.Spending time with friends.

4. Seeing that people are actually enjoying my blog, no just me. Its an amazing feeling!

5. Having my sister move out my room while she was having her bedroom redecorated. Honestly, it was a tip!

6. Then seeing my sisters room looking lovely, and lying on her new mattress (its memory foam, and it was SO comfortable...)

7. Going round to my Grandparents house for dinner, usually I go every week but since the holidays started I've been so busy! So it was nice to have a little catch up with them both.

8. Seeing Alfie's (my miniature schnauzer) happy little face. Aww he makes my day!

9. Lots of horse riding with a new horse. Murphy is just a big friendly giant.

10. Rereading my favorite book, 'The Fault in our Stars' by John Green. So far, I've only read the happy part.

Also, three things that will make me happy...

1. Seeing my Dad, who's been on Holiday this week, I've missed him.

2.Going to friends in Nottingham later.

3. I'm going on holiday at the end of this week, which unfortunately means I won't be able to blog for the next couple of weeks. However, I will tell you all about it when I get back.

Stay tuned!
Thank you,
