If You Want to Be Happy, Be.


Happiness is such a strange thing. Sometimes it seems to simply float above you, nearly truly landing in your life but then other times it's as though it completely surrounds you, your life and everything and everyone in it.
Currently I'm trying to really, really focus on the happiness, good, and joy that is occurring in my life. This is no doubt difficult from time to time, but I'm trying to base my life on what is truly wonderful about my life! I have AMAZING parents- my mom is finally living a relatively stable life. I adore my extended family; my sister, brother-in-law, nephew and future niece or nephew on the way and all my aunts, uncles and cousins...and my friends. Who could ever replace my incredible, AWESOME friends?! I truly have some of the most beautiful and thoughtful friends on this earth. And last but not least- Tommy. We have gone through our ups and downs, but I am proud and happy to say, at the end of the day we go to sleep in each others arms. :-)
Something else that brings a small amount of joy and happiness to me in a very obscure way is postsecret. If you've been living in a cave for the last few years, postsecret is an ongoing community mail art project, created by Frank Warren, in which people mail their secrets anonymously on a homemade postcard. It is truly amazing to me how many people actually send in their secrets. On top of that the seriously, silliness, sadness, terror and joy that can be felt through these simple postcards, well it's almost surreal. I don't think I could ever be brave enough to mail in my own secrets, but it's pretty incredible how many you can find that share many of your own hopes, dreams, fears and worries.
So here are a few of my favorite quotes, photos and postsecrets...ENJOY!!


This is exactly what I was talking about...
This is my motto lately about when I begin to think I can't do what I want...


The last two are postsecrets that demonstrate the whismy and pain that they can express.
Hope that you all are enjoying your happiness!
