New Apartment

 My new apartment makes me happy. While single, the roommate thing didn't bother me. It was  a money saving technique and I didn't need an entire apartment or house to myself.

 Now that I am married, we definitely need privacy. I found a simple money-saving solution, a mother-in-law suite! It is cute, comfortable, and now that I have scrubbed it within an inch of its life... Clean.

 I have finished unpacking and have put all things in the most convenient location. I am so pleased with how warm and inviting the apartment feels. I had my first visitor yesterday. Dominique commented on the cleanliness as well as the practical layout.

I can hardly wait to start my life. I have a feeling we will look back on this year at the apartment as one of the best and most interesting.

Happiness Project: Re-do

I put off this project for a few months and I lost my motivation. I am starting to get it back. I feel as though this project should be lifelong and not just a year. Every month, I will try to work on something that makes me truly happy.

The format will need to change a bit. But... I am back

Not Motivated

I wanted a bike so badly that I am unmotivated this month.

So

So the bike didn't work out for this month and I was really disappointed. I have no idea what to focus on this month and the month is already well under way. I just had a flash of brilliance! I am going to work on optimism. Not my own, but other people's.

I already have an optimistic attitude but I have noticed that many of my friends do not. Last night at the gym my friend was awfully down and even today my other friend at the gym was a bit pessimistic and easily dissuaded. I wonder if I can make other people feel good about the situations they bring to me?

People often ask me for advice and I usually try to get them to see things in a new way but perhaps  I can do better for the month. Hmm
