What makes me happy and calm? 

Being prepared for my classes ahead of time

People who hold doors open for other people

Taking walks

Meditating and doing yoga

New paper/notebook

Good music

Painting to music

Camping

Walking in the city

Waking up to bright sunlight

Sending cards (mail…that you can touch)

Having my room clean

Good poetry

New socks

Soft snowfall

Clean paintbrushes

Morning coffee

Reading for an entire day

Looking at graduate programs (makes me feel like I could be anything)

Hearing my mother talk about her pottery
