Happiness!

This winter has been exceptionally awesome. Not only in my personal life, but the weather has been mild, if not warm! We have even enjoyed a few 60 degree days along the way as well. But then, winter came. We all new it was going to happen! Even though there's really not that much snow, it's super windy and that's what makes it too cold. Less than 2 months to spring! Anyway, here's what's happening in my world:

Awesome Read: I'm reading a great book- It's called The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. It's about this woman who is happy in her life, but she thinks that she could be happier. So, she devises a plan that for one year, she will do little things in her life to make it just that much more happier. It's motivational and a great, easy read. However, before you start thinking that it's all sunshine and rainbows, I'm mostly impressed with this book because she talks about things in her plan that didn't work so well or that she didn't like. It's more real and attainable that way, I think. Great read-- do it!

Awesome Family: My sister came to visit! My younger sister is married and has a baby that's just over a year old. Her family moved to California last year and I miss them like crazy! Anyway they are here to visit for 10 days and life is just better when they are around. My niece is just over 1 now and she is toddling around doing silly things and babbling away. I'm not quite ready for one of my own yet, but nieces and nephews make life so happy!

Awesome Traveling: My boyfriend is fantastic and knows how much I miss my mountains! So, we are travelling over Memorial Day to see his brother in Atlanta and then a few of my mountain buddies!!! I can't tell you how excited I am!!!! It's going to be a fun fun fun trip.

Awesome Job: Like anyone, I have gripes about my job. I have days when staying in bed just seems cozier and pajamas and slippers fit better than dress slacks and ballet flats or heels. One of the main reasons I hated coming to work was because my computer was a piece of crap. It would just shut down, or freeze or kick me out of whatever program I was working in. After numerous visits with the computer people and several emails to the person in charge of this begging to get me a new computer, I finally got one! Hooray!!! So, I deep cleaned my desk and now, I have renewed energy. We also have a new CEO and she has brought in a new energy... a very positive one to our office and in the month that she's been here, the culture of the office has changed! People seem happier and more excited about what we do. Woo!

Focus on the happy, friends!
