happier than a bird with a french fry.

So I've been thinking lately....
that I'm ridiculously happy with my life right now!!

Does that mean I'm always smiling, laughing, and spreading my happiness around to everyone I meet? Not so much...
But even though I may be having a crappy day, ready to pull my hair out, or crying for no particular reason, I can promise you one thing.
I am happy with every aspect of my life!!

Wanna know what's got me so happy?
Well first... there's this guy.
Meet J.
He makes me laugh ridiculously hard on a regular basis.
Like... make you laugh so hard you can't breathe, you start crying, and your stomach tightens up so hard it hurts. That kind of laugh.
We have fun together. He's a pretty amazing catch. I'm a pretty lucky gal.

But he's not the only thing that makes me happy...
Wanna know what else makes me happy?
Coffee.
Hardcore workouts.
Friends.
Hugs.
Netflix.
Sleep.
Snuggles.
Kids.
Birds chirping.
Future possibilites.
Tea.
Laughing.
Reading.
The list is endless really...

Now I'm willing to share my secrets to my happiness.
Ready for this?
In other words? Keep a positive attitude!! Is it easy? Absolutely not.
Some days, it seems impossible.
But guess what. It's not. It IS possible.
When those kids just won't stop yelling/fighting, your boss seems disappointed in you, and everything else seems to be going wrong....
Just breathe.
This one is important. Life is never perfect. Don't fool yourself.
If you expect life to be perfect, you're going to be let down within 10 minutes of waking up every day.
But even when you wake up late, your hair just won't do what you want it to do, the outfit you had in mind is just not working with you... life can still be wonderful for the rest of the day.
Just breathe.
Truth.
Can't say it better than that.

This is probably my biggest "secret."
But it's not really a secret.
Spend some time with your Bible. Start a devotional. Pray. Just talk to God.
You'll feel happier. I promise.
