My Long Overdue New Years Resolution

The view from my window.

Good Day Sunshine

Good Day Sunshine

I need to laugh and when the sun is out,

I've got something I can laugh about.

I feel good in a special way.

I'm in love and it's a sunny day.

I was having a fairly blue day today. Things just didn't seem to be going my way. It was frustrating. But I realized that sitting in my room and moping was not going to improve my mood any. A pint of Ben & Jerry's is only so powerful.

So I took the advice of one of my favorite teachers. I got up, put my big girl pants on, and faced the day. Honestly, I have very little to be upset about. It's February and the sun is shining-- there's a bird singing outside my window for goodness sake! It's not the kind of day that someone should spend inside feeling sorry for herself. So I'm not going to. Some things don't always go exactly how I want, but there are so many amazing things going on in my life that sometimes I forget to appreciate.

I know it's a little late, but I'm going to make my New Years Resolution now. I resolve to be happy. I will have bad days, but I'm going to strive to be grateful for all of the things in my life that help to get me through those days.

So on that note... WISH ME LUCK!
