Authentic Happiness Quiz

We took this happiness quiz that would give us our top 5 strengths. I agree with four of them but the top one confuses me a little. I guess I didn't realize that would be a strength. These things will help with life because it is very good to appreciate the little gifts like flowers and snow and such. That sounds silly but you will be much happier for it...
The other strengths I see and agree with as being things that I would consider strengths.



Your Top Strength
Appreciation of beauty and excellence
You notice and appreciate beauty, excellence, and/or skilled performance in all domains of life, from nature to art to mathematics to science to everyday experience.
Your Second Strength
Capacity to love and be loved
You value close relations with others, in particular those in which sharing and caring are reciprocated. The people to whom you feel most close are the same people who feel most close to you.
Your Third Strength
Citizenship, teamwork, and loyalty
You excel as a member of a group. You are a loyal and dedicated teammate, you always do your share, and you work hard for the success of your group.
Your Fourth Strength
Creativity, ingenuity, and originality
Thinking of new ways to do things is a crucial part of who you are. You are never content with doing something the conventional way if a better way is possible.
Your Fifth Strength
Curiosity and interest in the world
You are curious about everything. You are always asking questions, and you find all subjects and topics fascinating. You like exploration and discovery.

Day 1.5 Not an Official Post But...

I might add in learning to bake things like fancy pastries. I want to try that at least once, make something that seems complicated like those braided pastries. Or try doing some cool decorating.
There are so many things I don't know how to do and I want to know how to do them can I just try them all as time goes? Like sewing be my main thing but can I deviate? I'm going to anyway, might as well include it in the blog...

Day 1: Of Narwhals and Decision Making

I have finally come to a conclusion about this strange 20% of my time project that will evidently, according to it's title, make me a genius(Waiting for that, no false advertising Mrs. McKay..)!!!

I'm going to attempt to make some stuffed animals perhaps out of old clothing, a quilt-like thing, or a pillow. Most likely the stuffed animal(s) or pillow(s). Plural depending upon time. Or maybe something else entirely if I finish one project and don't feel like doing anything of it's nature ever again...Could happen...

I'm still hung up on this Narwhal. Whoever you are, I envy you.

AHA! AN EPIPHANY!
I SHALL MAKE A NARWHAL PLUSHIE!!!! Or will at least attempt to...
We must do this. This shall happen.

 I WILL BE THE OVERLORD OF THE NARWHALS!!!

Mwahahahahaha....

Edit: I have found my narwhal pattern! From Crafster.org. It was made by a user angelcallie whose name has become a link to their profile so you can check out all their things. And here is the Narwhal Pattern Post.
