Experiment: Writing 5 Good Things I Do Everyday

I'm trying this new thing where I write five good things that happened to me that day, and I'm hoping it will make me more grateful each and everyday. I feel like I, and many other people take a lot for granted, and I never want to do that because I'm so gifted and I know that.

I had an amazing yoga teacher a while back and she said she did this everyday and it made her so much more connected to herself, and suggested we all did it. I never ended up following it, but now I'm really excited to do so.

I will update you guys every once in a while so you guys know how its going, since I've only started like two days ago.

Playing an Instrument

I started showing interest in music from a young age. I remember I was about 5 when I decided to learn how to play the keyboard, so I bought one and my parents put me in lessons, this was when we were in Japan. We soon moved but I continued lessons for maybe another year, in the US I didn't have a very nice teacher. She was old and in my mind "boring", so I quit. A lot of people in my school were in band, so I tried to play the recorder for a while aswell, but was never super interested.

When I moved back to Brazil, I had the brilliant idea do buy an acoustic guitar, I named her Naomi. My parents again put me in lessons and I found myself. I absolutely love playing the guitar and can't imagine now my life without it. I've been having lessons for about  4 years now, and it is often my escape.

I highly recommend people to try and play an instrument because it is a very easy "escape" code. I often find myself quite lost in the music, and for anyone who says it's too hard, obviously has not tried. My dad often tells me that everything is hard until you practice, which is very true.

My favorite songs to play on the guitar are:

Wonderwall - Oasis
Here Without You - Two Doors Down
Stop Crying Your Heart Out - Oasis
Yellow - Coldplay
You Know I'm No Good - Amy Winehouse
Come As You Are - Nirvana
Naive - The Kooks
Iris - Goo Goo Dolls
Creep - Radiohead
Like A Stone - Audioslave
Stand By Me - Oasis
Sitting Waiting Wishing - Jack Johnson
Otherside - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Lugar Ao Sol - Charlie Brown Jr

If you guys have any suggestions of songs you like to play, please leave a comment, and let me know if you try out a new instrument. (:

Christmas Tree Building

Ok, so I know! It's early, I know! But, my mom told me to start building it and since last year I did it on my summer vacation and the vibe was really good, and it gave me some memories, so I decided to do it. I don't know what it is about building a christmas tree that just makes me happy, all I know is that I love love love doing it and I'm so glad I did.

Happy Halloween!

Here in Brazil, Halloween isn't really a big deal, so we don't really dress up or have halloween parties, that's mostly for little ones. But, I though I should give you guys some inspiration to get in the mood (:

I got all these pictures from diferent tumblrs.

Leticia

So, my name is Leticia and that is derived from the term "Laetitia" which means happiness and joy. I'm so happy that is my name. For a very long time, I have hated my name because it can't really be pronounced in any other language other than Portuguese,Spanish, Italian, and sort of French. (btw, did you know that Napoleons moms name was Letizia? and Miley Cyrus's mom is called Letitia ahahah) Recently I have learned to love my name, because it honestly does describe me a lot.

I am a generally very happy person, I love life and I believe Im so incredibly gifted that being upset would be a waste. Nobody can be 100% happy every single day, but I often find myself laughing and smiling way more than I see myself frowning or crying. I wake up everyday so grateful to be alive, and so eager to start the day. I mean, I obviously get my energy and joy from somewhere, and some people believe thats wrong and it should come from within, but I believe that we should do whatever works for you.

always cheesin'

I'm not really sure where I'm going with this post, but I haven't posted on here in a while, and I decided to talk about something that makes me happy, happiness. I hope this somehow inspired you to be happier, and I also hope to make a post in the future about where I get my energy from.

Basically, my name means happiness and I'm very happy.
