Journey to happiness.



“The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it's all that matters.” 

― Audrey Hepburn




I'm currently diving into a book by Moorea Seal, 52 Lists For Happiness. 
This book is a weekly journaling inspiration for positivity, balance, and joy.



Do you journal? Have you been thinking about starting up a journal? If you have been thinking about starting a journal, this might be the right time to start. I've always enjoyed writing in a journal.  It really gives you peace of mind. Take a moment, and think about what truly makes you happy. What brings you joy?

 You'll find that this book helps you connect your thoughts to pen and paper in a very enjoyable way.  I feel that it is a way that we can clear our minds, and reconnect in areas in our lives that we often neglect.

  I think it is important to practice self-care, and keeping a journal is a great way to de-stress, be mindful, and calm us when life starts to feel as though it is spiraling out of control.

The contents of this book include reflecting, Acknowledging, investing, and transforming. Each list gives you an opportunity to grow, reconnect, smile, and revisit old memories.

Journey to happiness...
I've been on a continuous journey to happiness.  
I am aware that in life not everything will go the way I've planned it to. I realize that no matter what I must make the best of this life.
 In life, you will grow apart from some people, but it doesn't mean that it is a bad thing. Every person that has entered my life has been there through a season and has truly taught me something. 
 Through my happiness journey, I've taken the time to know that the little moments are for cherishing. Honestly, every moment is for cherishing. I'm amazed at how quickly things can change. 
Happiness is letting go. In this life, you can't go on harboring unwanted thoughts and not allowing yourself room for forgiveness.  It happens to us all, but in time you learn to let go.  It can take some time, but you'll get there.


My happiness journey consists of:
(It is still a work in progress)

-Family
-Unconditional love
-Gratitude
-A positive mindset
-A joyful heart
-Cherishing little moments
-Acknowledging that life doesn't always go as planned
-Forgiveness
-Being more mindful
-Endless adventures

What makes up your happiness journey?

  1. I really love this. Being happy isn't something that you just do. Sometimes, you have to take steps to decide to be happy.

  2. Keeping a journal is something that I have found to be a wonderful way to release and reflect and let go of things and situations in my life. This together with recording fond memories to look back on, really contributes quite a bit to being well adjusted and happy. Having a book like 52 lists for happiness is such a good idea for prompting toward further inspiration within journeling and life in general. This is something I would love to obtain and use. Thanks so much for highlighting this as well as sharing something about your own journey to happiness.

  4. I love this! We are living through a time that's highly negative. There is no time better to focus on finding the happiness in our lives. I am definitely going to check this out. The 2020 lockdown forced me to slow down and reassess what actually matter in my life, and I think it's time to take that to the next step.

  6. Keeping a journal is such a great idea! Especially right now when the world is such a negative place, we all need to take a step back and really evaluate why life is great and reasons to be grateful and happy. It is too easy to get caught up in negativity.

  7. I think I would enjoy this book because it's so important to reflect on the good things in life. So often, we focus our energy on small, negative things when in reality, they were only a blip in our whole day. Right now, my small garden is bringing me so much joy--I love watching the blooms transform into veggies.

DIY Tea Tin Planter for Sweet Mint

Today’s tiny DIY win: turning an empty lemon‑ginger tea tin into a planter for a sweet mint plant that needed some love. I cleaned the tin, added drainage, and nestled the mint inside. It instantly brightened up the space — the colors on the tin and the fresh green leaves look so sweet together. I love giving everyday items a second life, especially when they end up this cute. Quick Video Tutorial  I began this little project by cleaning out an empty metal tea container that I had saved. It still held a soft scent of lemon and ginger, and I loved the idea of giving it a second life. Once I washed and dried it, the container felt ready for a new purpose.   Next, I used a finishing nail and a hammer to create a few drainage holes in the bottom of the tin. Since metal containers don’t have natural drainage, this step helps keep the roots healthy and prevents the soil from becoming soggy. Having prepared the container, I carefully removed the sweet mint from its original pot. The ...

If you celebrated Mother's Day, I hope it was lovely. How was your week?  Our week was busy.  We had doctor appointments, finals at school, and my husband has been working on a backyard project.  I've included a collage of our week.  My youngest used my phone camera to take pictures of our blooming clematis vines—one is purple, and the other is deep pink.  My husband received a guitar from his boss at work. He now has this one along with his bass guitar.  I've only seen one hummingbird at our feeders. They're so quick; there may be more.  I've been enjoying my time out on the back covered porch.
