365 Days of Happiness - Introduction

A new year is upon us and I want, no need, to do something important to me.  There is so much hate and unhappiness in the world right now that I have a goal of trying to find something good each day.  Cue the revival of this blog.

Throughout the years this blog has been used primarily for school.  Being a journalist major it was always emphasized to create one and to use it to find something you're passionate about. After college, I had a tough time finding a focus.  Looking back through my posts, it became a weight loss journal that didn't last and then I tried to use it to help me get through some difficult times.  But, when you aren't ready to admit to yourself how you really feel and why, it doesn't help to try to bring the world in on it.  But now, I'm ready to start something special.

This year I have a focus.  I have a goal and I hope that not only will this help me change my way of thinking, but can somehow help someone else.  Luckily, I was able to get away for the new year and that gave me a chance to recharge.  I realized I was taking on too much doubt, hatred, unhappiness in my life and where I am right now.  I kept just looking at the future wondering why the things I want aren't happening.  I forgot to enjoy where I am right now.  So, now it's time to change.  I'm going to enjoy myself.  I'm not going to let my job get to me.  I'm not going to take on anything extra that I don't want.  Most importantly, I'm going to say no and do the things I want to do, not what everyone else wants me to do.  This is my life and I want to be happy.  So, let's all try to be better to ourselves and find a little happiness everyday!
