Basically what I'm trying to say is that I'm a negative person by nature. I also just watched this documentary (I can see your shocked face now) called happy. It's about, well, being happy. The science behind it, what you can do to have more of it, etc. Good stuff. One of the things I took away was that genetics plays about a 50% part in your happiness level while lifestyle (job, house, where you live, etc.) only plays about 10% into your happiness level. The other 40%, they theorize, is choice.
I've been a follower of the choose joy movement anyway, and I've been keeping a gratitude journal. So this is just an extension of that. I'm choosing joy and happiness even though this has been a crappy week with sickness and then teething (I think?) and all sorts of fussiness, tears and disobeying. I could succumb like normal, but I'm trying really hard to embrace it all by choosing joy despite the situation.
A few of my favorite things that bring me so much joy:
Ha! I love that Target brings you joy! (me, too).
