Happiness is...

So we all know that I've been on a quest for happiness this year, and literally tried to plan for it all year long.  What I have learned is that God has a excellent sense of humor, and really doesn't pay any attention to plans.

Honestly, I think He mocks them.

And then He does everything possible to challenge you, whatever the quest may be.

What I've also learned this year, is that you just have to be happy no matter the circumstances, because rarely is your life ever going to be perfect.  To quote Taylor Swift, "Like... ever."  Life is up, then down, then up again.  Sometimes the down seem pretty low, and really they last longer than the ups, but again, that's life.

You have to have a go-to Happiness Is... List when life is beating you up.  Staying down is not an option... like ever.

Happiness is...

• Having the house to yourself.  Even if you have to play hookie from work to get it.
• Pandora's Jack Johnson station
• Target
• Baking while blogging.  The two are starting to go hand in hand for me.  Getting to do this in the house alone with Jack Johnson singing to me?  Well, it's better than 50 Shades for me.
• Reading
• Pinning

And if that list isn't enough, you can search my Pinterest Board for more happiness.

Right now, take 5 minutes and write your Happiness Is... go-to list.  Seriously, take the time to do this, and I promise you won't regret it...

Like, ever.

Have a fabulous day!
