List of Happiness

Who doesn't need a little more happiness in their life right?! I decided to make a list of the little things that make my day better!! 

1. Make your bed (seethisgirlrun, swears by it
2. Exercise
3. Shower (seriously this will make your day better!)
4. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are worth it and pretty good looking!
5. Say Hello to an old friend
6. Write your feelings down (journal, blog, etc.) 
7. Give a compliment
8. Greet those you pass on your walk to class or work
9. Look for the beauty around you (Rain or Shine there is something beautiful)
10. Count your blessings
11. Say a Prayer (Remember Whose you are!) 
12. Eat a healthy meal
13. Unplug and take a power nap (even twenty minutes makes such a difference)
14. Avoid junk food and soda (honestly choosing fruit over a candy bar will make you feel much better)
15. Take time for a hobby (knitting, reading, biking, painting, singing, you get the point...)
16. Spend time with loved ones and just be with them! 
17. Look for a way to secretly serve those around you (clean the bathroom, leave a sweet note, wipe the snow of someones car..) 
18. Make someone laugh.  I love just saying something silly to lighten the mood
19. Clean up after yourself (I always feel better the next day knowing I'm not waking up to the mess from dinner last night)
20. Give to yourself (maybe twenty minutes of uninterrupted pinteresting?, a froyo, mani/pedi.  Seriously everyone deserves something!)

What makes your day Happier?! 

Moving

Moving! I still can't believe it... This year has possibly been the most life changing year of my life and for a thousand different reasons, some BIG and some small but for the most part I've felt the need to be patient and wait! I've been trying so hard to move forward with my life, move toward some worthy goal and I kept feeling that I need to just wait.  So I did, I took a job in Logan for the summer instead of one out of town and after three months I decided to quit and take some time for myself.  The week I thought I was taking turned into a month, which for me was incredibly liberating.  I haven't taken a month off of work since I was sixteen, except for the eighteen months that I chose to do a different type of work (It was a lot more enjoyable)! And now after eight months of waiting ha and learning patience it is finally time to start moving.

I won't lie it is with some reluctance.  I finally accepted that maybe all these silly plans I had for myself weren't really what I was suppose to be doing and that I needed to accept my unchanging life. But ya know what? It feels right.  It feels like it is time I make some changes for myself.  I hope that I'm being put in a place that I can learn better how to help others and give of myself.  Can I just say? That is when I'm most happy, when I'm doing something for others, oh and when I'm shopping.. Ha! But I love serving others in any capacity. So on ward and upward.

I guess you will all want to know how exactly I am moving in my life.... Well I was just offered a job in Salt Lake working as a Child Development Specialist.  It is probably the coolest job in the world. I basically go into a lot of different homes to work with families that have a child 0-3 with some type of developmental delay.  I don't know if I could pick a better job for me, I get to work with families and babies!! I can't even wait to start! (clearly I learned how to wait...)  I know there will be a lot of learning going on, especially because I feel so young ha and have never had a family of my own.  But I'm so EXCITED!! And to actually have a job in my degree (Yeah family studies and human development doesn't usually turn out that well).

I will hopefully be keeping up my blog more! It is definitely a goal of mine :) I have some pretty funny things that I've decided that need to be shared with the world.

Here are some pictures from my most lovely summer:
