"The Simple Things" Tag

I warned y'all I liked tags.
 So, as my second post, I'm doing a very amazing, encouraging tag that was left open! Without further ado, here it is:


Instructions:

Link back to the person who started the tag and thank them.
    ✔ Thanks, SawyerMarie! I'm not sure if you started it, but you revived it, as you said.
Link back to the person who tagged you and thank them.
    ✔ Thanks again, SawyerMarie! 😁 You left it open, so I snatched it up!
Use the graphic below.
    ✔ Look up! Ain't it pretty?
List 5 simple things that make you happy (with pictures).
    ✔
Tag 3 people.
    
Remind everyone to be joyful with the little things!
    

#1. Dandelions! They might just be common wildflowers, but they're so pretty! And, even if you try to keep them away, they don't give up (some people call this being a weed, I call it perseverance 😁).

#2. Creative Silhouette Book Covers. I love a well-done book cover - especially when it's on an indie book. It just makes me so happy to see an indie book with a professional-looking cover! But, back to what I was talking about. 😊 Some of my favorite book covers are silhouettes or outlines of some form...like these!

#3. Crammed Bookshelves. I just love it when a bookshelf is packed full of good books! I have several small places I keep my books, but here's a pic of my favorite shelf (where I keep some of the books I've read and enjoyed):




#4. This Color!! Besides being my new favorite color, this is also a source of debate in our house...I'm convinced that it's somehow a shade of blue, but my dad says it's clearly green. I'm just going to call it teal. 😊



#5. Handwritten Fonts. I really like fonts in general, but handwritten fonts are the best!

And I tag...
    Katja
    Caitlyn
    Martha
    And anyone else who wants to do it!

So, there you have it. Five simple things that make me happy. They might all seem silly, but that doesn't mean they are. This reminds me of a Bible verse that I love: 
“Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important.” - 1 Corinthians 1:27-28 NLT
Just because something is simple doesn't mean that isn't important. So, go and enjoy the simple things!


What are some of your favorite "simple things"?

Character #3: Hawke

  Welcome to our third character interview!!!  Today, I'm interviewing Hawke, Briannon's brother and — at times — Maverek's nemeses. Yep. Just leaving that right there. Here we go! Abby: Hey, Hawke! Thanks for letting me interview you! Hawke: Hello. *shifts in seat* Please tell me this isn't going to take too long? Abby: Nope, I'll keep it short! Hawke: *smiles* Short like Bree and Maverek's? Abby: Fine. *rolls eyes* I'll keep yours even shorter, so long as you give me good answers to the questions I do ask. Hawke: Deal. Abby: What's your name mean? Hawke: You expect me to know? It's a bird. Just a bird. Abby: *smiles* Okay, we'll go with that. Theme song? Hawke: "Til the Day I Die" by TobyMac. Abby: Yeah, we're going to need to work on that . . . I feel like you have another theme song that you just don't want to share. Hawke: *cocks eyebrow and grins* Keeping this short, remember? We only have time for one theme song. Abby: Fi...

Character #2: Maverek // Blogging Schedule

 Hey! I haven't even posted since the blog tour (which was so much fun!), but I'm finally back with the next character interview and what I *hope* will be a blogging schedule I can keep up with! First off, the schedule: I'm going to try to post every Tuesday morning, with posts on Fridays sometimes. With school, writing, and life . . . who knows how often those Friday posts will come. Now, on to interviewing Maverek! He isn't overly thrilled about this, but he agreed to try. *sighs* Finally. Here goes! Abby: Hey, Maverek! I'm so glad you could come! Maverek: *smiles slightly* Only because you and Briannon begged me. Abby: Well, I appreciate it! I'll try to keep this shorter than Bree's. Maverek: Thank you. Abby: Okay, to start us off, what does your name mean? Maverek: In your time, it means "independent." I think that meaning was invented somewhat recently, though. Abby: I think so. But, hey, it fits you! Maybe too well. Maverek: I suppose it does...
