MY Quest

So... As you may or may not know... Life changes a lot in our house. And so does my mood, and I'm pretty darn tired of that. And I imagine so is my husband. So my new resolve has been to get back to my old resolve, which was to get back to basics of living a balanced, happy life. I know that I threw our lives into a tailspin this last year with my move to the police department. I didn't expect it to snap back into place immediately when moving back to the hospital (although I kinda hoped it would), since I was moving back to a new position there was going to be a whole new learning curve. So I've been patient with the transition. But now it's time to get serious, about my "Happiness Project". It's a book I've been reading, and it's fabulous. I am loving every second of reading it. I'll probably refer to it often. With it, I'm hoping to get back to Blogging more!

Here is what I KNOW. Just because you aren't "happy", does not mean that you are "unhappy". This I know for sure, and have been experiencing it. And now I am going to change it. Because I want to HAPPIER, I have so many reasons to be a happy person, and I never want to look back on life and wish I would have appreciated it when I had it. It's time for a little perspective.

I want to work on: Be Appreciative. Live in the Moment. Find freedom in my failures, not be afraid to try things. Give myself, my own "gold star" for those things I feel I need recognition for, not look to someone else to provide that. Be more Silly. Get organized at home/ de-clutter.

I'm sure my list will grow, and evolve. But this is where my head is right now.
