1. Sleep. Glorious, glorious sleep. Somehow, the world always looks better after a good night’s rest. Right? 
2. Dogs. In particular, my parent’s dachshunds Molly & Sophie. They are the best.
3. Running. Even when a run sucks, somehow it’s still good, ya know? When you just go out and run forever, leaving all your cares and worries out there on the pavement. Those are the best runs.
4. Family. Mine is awesome. They always have my back. I love them.
5. Friends. The ones I’ve had for my entire life (since I was 5) to the friends from high school and beyond, to the ones I’ve made on here. You’re all pretty amazing people. 
6. Words. Whether I’m writing them or reading them. I like how they fit together, how they sound, the phrasing of certain ones together. 
7. Music. I like a variety of music and am always on the lookout for that next song that makes me want to sing along or dance.
8. Summer and Sunshine. I’m pretty much always in good mood from May-September. 
9. Travel. I love exploring new places whether its somewhere far, far away…or just a new place to eat, or part of my city I’ve never been.
10. When my hair curls just right and my outfit is exactly how I pictured it. Those days don’t happen all the time, but when they do? Watch out world! Everything’s coming up Milhouse!!
11. Massages. Professional or otherwise. 
12. The smell of Lilacs in the spring. Those flowers are a part of my childhood. I’m taken back there each time I smell them.
13. When my 3 nephews call me “Emmie.” The oldest one couldn’t say Melissa and he finally called me Emmie. The name has stuck and that’s what they all call me. I love it.
14. Unexpected messages from cute boys. The kind that make your heart beat faster and a goofy grin to appear on your face. Those are the best.
15. Hugs and kisses. From family, friends, boyfriends. Heck, even from my dogs! 🙂
