Happiness
hap·pi·ness [hap-ee-nis]
noun
1. The quality or state of being happy.
Lately things in my life haven't been easy, and its been getting harder to look on the bright side. I was getting discouraged and well, a little depressed. I really don't like feeling this way, I don't enjoy being down in the dumps, so I took a little break from things to stop and think about the things that make me happy. As I've mentioned in an earlier blog post, I tend to be a worrier, so I end up stressed and worried and if I don't watch out it catches me up in its whirlpool trying its hardest to suck me down. The hardest part for me is getting out of the rut, but the thing I always try to remember is that there is no one better at fixing your unhappiness then yourself. So here are the things that have made me happy, and what I'm doing to make myself happy:
I started going to community college right after I graduated high school, and for a year and a half I was going to school full-time and I was also working full-time as well. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done, my schedule was so crazy busy that I almost didn't survive (mentally of course). By the time I got to my third semester with this busy schedule it had gotten to where I was only showing up for classes but I was too worn out after work and school to do my school work. Long story short, I took a break from school to concentrate on work. It was a hard decision, but unfortunately I needed the money. I had bills to pay and have been helping support my parents since my dad hasn't been able to work. Well, I have officially decided to go back to school! I'll be starting out at the community college again, but thats what is in my budget right now. I think the main thing I'd like to study and get a degree in is art, I think I'm also gunna look at a business degree as well (but the reason for that is still a surprise). What do you think? Do you have any suggestions for someone going back to school who has been gone from school for about a year?
One of the things that has made me happy these last few days has been Lily. There is just something about a dog that always shows you that she loves you no matter what that just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. She recentely discovered how much she loves to put her head out the window of the car when we are driving around, and its one of the happiest things to watch, especially when her ears are flapping in the wind and one of them flips over (unforunately I wasnt able to get a picture of that lol).

She also did this trick for a friend of mine
(it took her about a year to learn this trick lol)
Here are some other pictures that I found on Pinterest that brought a smile to my face:
Why great danes are my favorite dog breed :)
I'm a huge Harry Potter fan (I've read all the books like a hundred of times) and Luna is one of my favorite characters
this is the cutest idea!
What have you discovered lately that makes you happy? In other news, I have some great craft posts planned for this week leading up to Halloween, so stay tuned. And dont be afraid to say hi either, its nice to know that I'm not just taking to myself on this thing (lol).
