My New Project

I've been dreaming up this little blog for a while now.

For some time now, I've been struggling with emotions & feelings.  What makes me feel happy, depressed, upset, giddy, angry?  

Then, while visiting my Grandmother's house, I gazed at a little porcelain plaque she has on her windowsill.  It reads:

"Do One Thing Everyday That Makes You Happy"

I realized then that I needed to focus on the things that make me feel happy, the things that make me feel fulfilled and joyous, and the things that make me satisfied.  Of course, there will always be things that try to pull me away from this happiness I seek, but my goal is to make sure that I do one thing everyday that is an adventure, that is different and fun, and that makes me happy.  It can be simple or complex, big or small.  You name it.

That's where this little blog comes in!  I would love to write about something everyday that I did toward this goal, or something I am planning or dreaming up.  Right now I'm not going to beat myself up if it's not everyday, but I'll do my best!  I will also ask others to contribute, share inspiring photos and music, and whatever thoughts are on my mind.

I'm excited to get started today.  I hope you'll stick around and enjoy!
