So far in this journal I've used my entries to have a good old rant about things that make me cross or upset or worried. I've blathered on and on about things that I worry about and things that keep me awake at night.
In a funny way it's really helped me to see where I'm making my biggest mistakes, and getting it all off my chest here has meant that I can take a good look at all those little worries and problems from a totally different perspective.
Reading my own thoughts and the comments that people leave for me has helped me to actually take my own advice. And that's something that I never thought would happen!
So today I thought I'd try something a bit different.
Today I'm going to leave myself a little reminder of all the things that make me really happy. If my theory is correct, when I'm having another crappy day I can read this and remember that there are always things I can do to make it better! Because even the most optimistic Pixie knows that there will undoubtedly be more crappy days to come!
So here we go.
Number 10
<center>My Computer </center>
*chuckles* 3 years ago this would have been number one on the top ten list of things that make the Pixie freak out! Believe it or not a few years ago this PiX was a complete technophobe. But now my little PC is my window to the world! And best of all it's meant that I've found friends who I would never have had the chance to meet otherwise!!
And let's not forget e-bay!

Number 9
<center>Cake</center>
Oh how Pixies love cake! Cake includes trifle, icecream and custard.
Preferably all at the same time.

Number 8
<center>Shopping</center>
So typically girlie of me! And possibly my worst fault. I just can't resist! I am powerless against the lure of the shops and there aren't many feelings better than swapping those round flat metal thingies and the printed paper number thingies for shiney pretty stuffies!
I really hope my bank manager is not reading this!

<center>Warm</center>
Living in Deepest Darkest Mid-Wales you really learn to appreciate the simple things in life, like being warm. I love snuggly jumpers, massive duvets and open fires. Even better than those is sunshine. I simply cannot function normally without at leat 8 hours of direct sunlight.
Thinking about it, that actually explains a lot!

Number 6
<center>Sleep</center>
The worst days I have are invariably preceded by a night of tossing and turning, waking up every hour on the hour and falling out of bed at least twice. You really can't fully appreciate sleep until you stop getting it.
Although the spangly floaties you get after 3 days with no sleep are actually quite groovy! Some people actually pay good money for chemicals just to make them feel like that!
My advice to them, don't sleep for a week, much cheaper!

Number 5
<center>Outside</center>
Indoors is not a natural state of affairs for pixies. Being couped up in an office all day is a recipe for disaster.
There's nothing better than being sat under a tree on top of a mountain watching the clouds and just chilling. Or paddling in a river, lying on the beach, bouncing through a field, pottering in the garden.
As long as the roof is off it's all good!

<center>Parties and Festivals</center>
In fact, anywhere where there's decent tunes and people.
I'm including adventures in this bit because they usually involve tunes and people!
The best feeling in the world is being somewhere different, with new people and dancing like a maniac all night! Parties are all good, because you know that everyone there has one and the same mission, and that's to enjoy themselves. How can you fail to have a good time then?!?!

<center>Friends</center>
And I mean REAL friends. Those people who are there through it all.
This pixie loves company.
What better way to spend your time than with the people you care about. There aren't many things better than sharing your time with people who you really care about.

<center>Poi</center>
Any poi. Glowy ones, ribbony ones, firey ones, socky ones, it really doesn't matter as long as I can spin them! The feeling you get when you pull off a perfect trick after hours and hours of smacking yourself in the head is just the best buzz in the world!
When I spin, not only do I get the smug satisfaction of being able to do something that not many other people can, but it's bloody good excercise too!

<center>Huggles!</center>
*grins* Well, anyone who knows anything about Pixies will know that this had to be numero uno favorite thing!
Even if someone had banned shopping, broken my computer, eaten all the cake, locked me in a cold room with no bed and chopped the strings off my poi I could probably cope if I was still allowed huggles!
They really do fix all!
And all you need is a pair of arms! lol, even just one arm! Just wrap it round and squeeze! There, all better!
