I know the secret to happiness

Let's just get this out and nip it in the booty. 

I've been in some kind of a shlump lately. 

(And when I say lately I really mean like, a year.)

Nothing to do with my darling husband or my family. 

I feel like I have invested a lot of time into a lot of people with not much in return. But then when I came to realize it's not always about getting something in return, I did in fact gain something.

Happiness!

Nice intro yeah? 

I go to church every week and each time it always seems like someone somewhere mentions service. Helping others. Being kind. 

If you want to be happy, make someone else happy.

How many times does one person need to hear the same thing in so many different ways to finally get it through their head!? 

Apparently, a lot.

I can't stress enough how incredibly true this is. 

Just today I decided to go out of my way to say something nice to someone. Now I feel great!

I'm going to make this a daily thing. Whether it is in person, through Facebook, phone call...

I want to do a good deed or at LEAST lift someone's spirits everyday, without expecting something in return.

I'm telling you friends it has already turned my frown upside down today.

It doesn't have to be New Years to start a resolution. 

Get to it. 

MAKE MY DAY!
