It's a New Year... Let's Be Happy

     It's the new year! And this is my resolution, look at things in a more positive light! So here we are, DAY 1... and I have no real clue how I am going to run a blog, let alone a blog on happiness and positivity, which I struggle with daily. But... by waking up each day and knowing that I have challenged myself to see things more positively, and that people may be waiting to READ about the things I encounter each day, I just may be held accountable. I don't think I plan on writing a new little something every day, but who knows... if every day I am inspired by someone or something new, you just may see a new post to read! 

     And my first struggle to find positivity in the new year was simply worrying about how I am going to run a blog, and if anyone would even want to read it. But then I realized, New Year's Resolutions are personal and who cares if nobody reads this? This is going to make me look at each day with positive eyes and a happier heart. There is way too much in this world that is beautiful to let the smallest negatives ruin your day. So... let's change our thinking! If we wake up each day and choose to be happy... we give ourselves no other choice. We will find the positive in the people, situations and circumstances that we find ourselves surrounded with. We have gotten through other rough times, why will this be any different!? We do have to give the glory to God though, if it weren't for Him, I may not be able to see ANY positive. 

     So here is to the new year! Cheers to new beginnings, new opportunities, and a new, positive outlook on everything! I hope that you will find this blog comforting and that it may even bring you a few laughs... if you find yourself struggling with something, let me know and I will try to post something to encourage you and maybe help you see things from a different perspective. Happy New Year!
