a reflection on what brings me happiness

It has been a rough week. I don't know why, or what, or who or anything. All I know is that I feel sad and despaired and hopeless and I want to go home. But lots of great things have been happening, and I haven't been able to show some pictures I have of those big and great things. I'd rather focus on what makes me happy then what makes me sad.

What makes Michealah Schofield happy in what feels like a miserable life.

Animal crackers make me happy. In fact being in college basically means being hungry all the time or sick all the time. In the times that I am hungry but do not make food yet, I snack on these. I got them in bulk at Sam's Club.

How can this smoulder not make you happy? I miss him...

His silliness makes me happy. He will never not make me laugh.

We went to Disneyland on Boxing Day. It was awesome. I was so happy to be back, it was just as fun as I remembered. It was special to be with Elizabeth and Malachi who were there for their first time, and first time being able to remember it. Disneyland has magic, especially with little kids. This was a very happy week.

I love how I don't have to avoid going on scary rides alone, that instead I have a handsome little brother who'd rather do swings rather than roller coasters. This makes me happy and not feel lonely.

Princesses make me happy...particularly Elsa, because she's the ultimate example of a big sister.

I love my mom. She makes me happy. 

My parents also make me happy. They bring stability. 

I love my whole family. They make me happy.

 and my sweet baby sister...

and listening to him sing...

Christmas dinner always brings joy

I love temples

Again, I love my family and especially love Malachi's love of affection.

I love to be hugged by them

I sometimes love being photobombed, only when they're super cute.

Going to the temple with my family brings me lots of joy.

 I love my siblings, they bring my happiness

I love facials. They are so fun 

Cordell brings me happiness. He is just the greatest. He makes me laugh, keeps me accountable, feeds me, comforts me, and takes me on dates. He also cleans the snow off my car for me. So excited to marry him.

I also loooove sledding. I wish I had a GoPro

Look at how great he isssss. He's making bbq pizzas, which also bring me happiness.

Unfortunately, this is my only pic of a hockey game. They bring me sooo much happiness. It's killing me not being able to go.

Friends make me happy. They have been there for me when I'm at my lowest and never fail to make me laugh or just talk. Thanks friends, you're the best. There are many that aren't on here.

Face swaps make me laugh which is a verb of happiness so thats why this ugly pic is here.

Nutella makes me happy.

You have just endured my poorly written blog post about what makes me happy. I already feel better and blessed. I'm surrounded by roommates making dinner, talking about boys, and sharing in laughter. Cordell is next to me quietly supporting and adding jokes in, or talking about ways to use Tapatio. I love how we have eye conversations when something funny is said. My life is blessed, and I am lucky to be here.
