So I was working out last night. Gettin my strength training on, sweats all pouring down my face and I'm thanking God for the window blinds in my living room because I'm sure I look a mess all dat good stuff. After I wrap up my final stretch I go down stairs to my room to get ready for a hot shower. I grab a rubber band and put my hair in a ponytail grab my towel and hit the bathroom. As I stare at myself in the mirror as I brush my teeth before I hop in the tub I realize something..... My hair is long enough to be put into a ponytail!!
Granted the sides are sticking out but this is just so great I reward myself with doing my happy dance after I finish my shower. I started loc'n my hair mid August of 08 and I had less than half an inch on my head when I started. This Baby Rasta has become a Toddler and I'm so happy about it.
After I wrapped up my dance I couldn't help but laugh at myself in amazement of the things that bring me happiness. After thinkin about it for a minute I decided to list some of those things.... Feel free to list some of your own
Happiness is....
Enjoying the first ice cream cone from the ice cream truck in the summer (I never pay for my first cone of the summer)
Hearing my mom or siblings talk about how proud they are of me
Hearing my mom or dad say I love you before we hang up
Stealing kisses from my nephew
Wiping Birthday Cake off the side of my face.
Playing hide and go seek with my cousins
Enjoying a good read and a good sandwich outside the Cosi's at Union Square
Sitting in a empty movie theater cracking up at whateva movie I decided to check out alone after work.
That first dip on a roller coaster
That first flake of snow on the tip of my tongue
Knowing everything is going to be ok.

glad to see that its the littlest things that bring you joy and happiness in this life. Sometimes we take the small things for granted and concentrate on the big things. Enjoy you hair, revel in it because its yours and before you know it you're going to have hair down to the middle of your back. Isn't life grand..
