Just a little somethin' somethin'

Dear husband,
During your visit we should..
- hit up the beach and surf some waves
- Register for stuff
- Take the train to movie star-a-gogo land
- Take lots of pictures
- Eat at that yummy Thai restaurant
- Go to mini Mexico
- Go on a hike to the falls
- Stay up late and talk - watch no movies or tv
- and.. I had a lot more but I currently am experiencing a brain fart.

Don't worry, be HAPPY!

Dear husband,

I'm not a fan of negativity. I try to be as optimistic as possible, but sometimes it's hard.

Can we as a family promise to learn from and love any challenge God may give us???

I remember seeing this 'ABC's to Happiness' poster in a professors office once. I took a glance at it but due to my poor vision, I really couldn't see much. Without thinking anything of it, I stumbled upon the poster while purosing the internet yesterday. I absolutely love it! It speaks such truth!
So.. here it is- not in poster form of course.

Accept you reality
Be present. Be bold
Create something exciting
Drink plenty of water. Dance
Exercise daily. Eat fresh foods
Feel you emotions. Face fears
Go outside and observe nature. Give
Hug often. Help others
Ignite your passions
Jump through your comfort zone
Kiss passionately. Keep moving forward
Laugh. Love. Learn to let go
Meditate daily. Make goals
Never give up on what you want
Own a pet. Observe beauty
Pray. Paint. Play and instrument
Quit a bad habit. Quiet your mind
Read. Relax. Reinvent yourself
Smile. Sleep. Simplify
Take power naps. Talk wisley and kindly
Unleash your strengths
Vent. Visualize your dreams
Walk. Write. Watch the sun set
Xerox your smiling face
Yell less. Yield to your thoughts
Zap negativity



Love wife
