Because Happiness Is A Choice
As I’ve said in some of my other posts I’m a firm believer in only doing things that make you happy. This year I am really focusing on myself and what is best for my health, wellness, and happiness. Sometimes we are so set on a path that we thought we had to follow, but trust me you are in total control of your life. Growing up I had this whole list of things that I wanted to accomplish before I was 25. Well, I am approaching 26 and I laugh every single day at that little girl. Plans don’t always work out, and that’s something that I have really embraced over the past couple of years.
This month I have been obsessed with Grey’s Anatomy. I am a chronic binge watcher, so this isn’t a new concept for me, but this month I haven’t been able to put stop watching. Ashley and I have watched Grey’s since it started, but at Thanksgiving I decided I wanted to rewatch it. I was watching episodes here and there, but this month alone I have watched four seasons. Contrary to what Ashley believes I have actually gotten work done whilst watching. I look at it this way though. Yes, it is taking up a ton of my time, but it is making me really happy to sit and watch it. For me being happy and stress free is what’s important to me.
Somehow between all of the Netflix binge watching I have had time to read. I wrote about all of the books I want to read over here, and I was able to read Little Fires Everywhere on the plane last week! It was so good, and I’m glad I put my ipad down and read instead. Usually I always watch tv or movies on a plane, but it was nice to put myself into a fictional world that’s in my own imagination. I started reading Call Me By Your Name on our flight to LA yesterday and I love it already!

Lately we’ve been trying to explore our city and neighborhood more. We have been so busy over the past couple of years that we kind of lost sight of this amazing city that we live in. I have made it my mission every week to find someplace new. We stumbled upon a new coffee shop, Hutch & Waldo, and completely fell in love! Honestly hands down one of the best almond milk lattes I have ever had. You know how much coffee we drink, so that is saying a lot!
I encourage you this month to do the things that make you happy. Put yourself first, and then you will be able to help your friends and families in a way you never thought you could. Let me know what you have been doing lately that makes you happy!
