Create It

Happiness isn’t going to stroll up to your front door and ring the doorbell. It isn’t going to send you an urgent meeting request. It isn’t going to wrap itself up in sparkly paper with a fancy bow and present itself to you with a fireworks show and dramatic music.

I have learned that we have more power over our own happiness than we are typically willing to admit. Keep searching for happiness in buying things, or seeking approval and validation from others, or comparing, and it will always elude you. Find ways to appreciate each day, to breathe and find peace, to grow as a person, and to give the gift of happiness to others…and suddenly, your own happiness is a lot easier to discover as well.

109 Days

We haven’t even officially entered summer yet, and I am beyond over it. Ninety degree days, humidity, sweating just walking to the mailbox, caking on layers of sunscreen to protect my vampire-white, easily-burned skin…blech!

My husband loves summer and reminded me that without summer, we wouldn’t have our beach weekends or one of our favorite holidays (4th of July). Hmmmm. I’m still not sold on the idea.

There are 109 days until fall!
