Let You Go

Haha, so true. I know a few people that should read this!!

Little bit of happiness: Talked on the phone with my childhood friend, Rachel. It had been waaaay too long so it was great to catch up on everything, especially her wedding plans!

Peaks, Pits, Praises, and Prayers

 

This evening I started a daily journal for the "peaks, pits, praises, and prayers" to do each evening. I'm excited for a chance to reflect upon my day and I like this much better than the other journaling I have seen done like the one sentence a day for five years. This is much more involved and focuses on a God centered life. (This is not the picture of my particular journal)

LOL

From my Happiness Project calendar last week:

 

"A great way to boost happiness: Laught out loud. A typical young child laughs more that 400 times a day, a typical adult, 15 times. Laughter is healthy: It lowers blood pressure and cortisol levels and boosts immunity. It strengthens social bonds and helps ease difficult situations. And it's fun. Make an effort to laugh out loud."

 

Couldn't agree more!

Little bit of happiness: After a long day at work and practice, I gave in to a nap. I LOVE naps!! However, I will have to pay for it later because I need to clean my kitchen, shower, and do two class assignments still. Oh well, it was worth the chance to nap. How I missed naps.

Daily quote: Joy is different then a temporary feeling of happiness; it's a condition of the heart.

For the Love of Buttons

Give me 20 minutes and I'll give you 10 new pairs of earrings... whoop whoop!

Lovin' me some buttons right now!

Little bit of happiness: Spent the majority of the day just relaxing at mom and dad's house... mixed in with reading, jewelry making, and a little class work. Getting ready to head back to my house in a few hours, after devouring dad's BBQ ribs.

Mid-life Motors

When I came back home after my weekend in Topeka, this is what I saw in my parent's garage:

 

 

At least they are going through a mid-life crisis together. :)

Little bit of happiness: It was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, saying goodbye to Allison. Even though she will be moving to Kentucky in a matter of days, I know we will still be best of friends. I'm happy that she has been given this amazing opportunity and I know she will do great!
