I try to see the good in everyone and in everything. It’s easy to get swept up with the negative energy that is out in the world. I make an effort to be grateful and thankful every day. I take a few minutes each night before I fall asleep to think about all that I have to be thankful for. Those are the things that make me happy.
Life has treated me well and I know that I am fortunate. There are many days when things are tough, but I try to remind myself that there are people that are truly struggling in the world. There are people who don’t know where their next meal is coming from, who don’t have the ability to clothe their children, and people who do not have a home to live in.
Focusing on things that make me happy is a great way for me to appreciate all that I have. It’s how I remind myself what a lucky woman I am. I’ve listed a few of the things that make me happy below:
The Texan – Here we are on our wedding day. What an amazing day {err….weekend in Vegas} that was!
The Boy – Always full of laughter, smiles, and big squeezey hugs.
The Red Sox – especially when they win the game!
Long days at the beach
Watching sunsets on the beach
Margaritas
