Personal Happiness project: week 1


My friend posted this picture on their Facebook, which showed up on my newsfeed inbetween pictures of what someone made for dinner last night and invitations to Farmville. I thought it was pretty good and I want to try something. It is about 6 months until Christmas/the end of 2012. I want to go through the list and make each part of my life for the next 26 weeks. Definitely some are going to be worked on before I actually get to them (e.g. Exercise daily: check. I ran a mile today.), but I will focus on that particular one for that week. Sound good?

So this week is "Accept your reality." Done. I mean, not done. I'm trying to recognize that there is something missing in my life and I am trying to find it. Also, I should admit that the post previous to this one was actually written this morning...not a month ago (bad blogger!). I think the first step for this week, as well as for weeks to come, is to establish a relationship with God. Through Him we can do all things because He loves us. I have a wonderful husband who I don't appreciate nearly enough. So for this week, and the future, may we realize the awesome blessings we have and accept the life we have been given. We may not have been able to choose the circumstances we were brought into, but we are responsible for what we do with them.
