31 Days Update

So, when I left on a jet plane, I forgot about my 31 days... so here are lessons 4,5, & 6...

Day 4: Buying a House is Hard

So, as most of you know I purchased a house and closed in July. Note, yeah it seems like fun, until they ask you to turn over your entire life and pocketbook. Seriously, I love my house, but sometimes I think if I had to do it all over, I would just rent.

Day 5: Asking for Help

Yes, I am a self-professed, independent woman, and one of the toughest lessons learned this year has been to as for help. And then to take it. I cannot do it all, no one can and people want to help you, and not because they expect things in return, but simply because they care.

Day 6: Happiness is made

Sometimes you to make your own happiness. As in, create it, put yourself in situations that bring that smile to your face. Be around happy people, do happy things, and let yourself be happy even when you think you shouldn't. I spent a lot of February and March thinking I should be weeping constantly and not go out and let myself live. I wasted some good months of my life wallowing instead of letting myself experience some happy moments. Happiness doesn't grow on trees, go out and find what makes you smile.
