Happier

Last night I took stock of my life. I looked at the things that were upsetting me and the things that were making me happy. Then, I took some steps to make some changes. Now, although nothing has dramatically changed, I feel significantly better about the small progress I made. Then again, I might just be happier because the sun is shining and I'm headed to Miami tomorrow :)

What are you doing this weekend? I'm dreaming of sunshine, sand, water, sundresses, bikinis, flops and sunnies... 

Also, a friend sent me a link to this promotion to create and send a free card! I just created mine and it was so easy and turned out really well if I do say so myself. Valentine's Day is coming up and even if you don't have a special someone, it's always fun to brighten someone's day with a random card! 

Happiness and Olympics

Goals for today:

1- Work on not being so quick to judge.

2- Stop obsessing over when final grades for the first term will be posted.

3- Enjoy yoga this evening. Take time to decompress.

4- Find a way to bless someone today.

5- I think I disagree with this one. Compromising expectations, compromises excellence in my opinion. Thoughts?

Today, my amazing friend, Jenn, begins Olympic Trials!!

You can follow her progress here. She has worked so hard to get this far and I have no doubt that she will do an awesome job. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers!!

Today, I Will be Happy

I am 99% positive

 (through self diagnosis of course) 

that I have seasonal depression. 

I woke up to the gray rainy skies this morning and it took every bit of determination I had to get out of bed. Because we have had a week of this nonsense, I made a decision today. I am going to do everything I can think of to make today happy. I refuse to get stuck in the mulligrubs today.

For some reason rainy days are never Noah and Allie glamorous...

So here are some things that made me laugh or make me smile for some reason or another. Hopefully they will help you combat the mulligrubs as well. 

Post on my friends fb:

"I wasn't THAT drunk" "Dude, you took my parakeet, threw it at my piggy bank and yelled ANGRY BIRDS"

Yesterday, I mailed a note and a present to a friend. I love creating these little packages and anticipating their happiness when they get them. Getting mail is the best isn't it?!

This weekend I'm going to the Annapolis Boat Show and Sunday in the Country (an all day music festival that I go to every year). Both days I'm going to be outside all day, so when I saw this:

I was super relieved and happy that this weather isn't going to last forever!!

I put on my boots today and my broken toe is healed enough that they didn't totally kill my feet! 

My Itunes was on shuffle and this song came on. It instantly brightened my mood.

Last but absolutely not least - tomorrow is Friday and I have a fun weekend ahead of me! 

What has brightened your day today?
