I'm really excited! I just read a Post secret entry on facebook about a few suggestions to living happy and I decided what to do w/ my smash book and consequently with my Summer of Color works. I'm going to make a gratitude journal. My first submission on rainbow sherbet works perfectly because I am thankful for yummy ice cream!
The Secret to Happiness?
1. Keep a Gratitude Journal
2. Exercise, Meditate & Eat Better
3. Share Random Acts of Kindness
I am going to try them all, but meditation is new to me, so we'll see.
This is me

Great idea :) You should SO come over to Virginia's. Every week she hosts a hop where we all post a grateful post looking back at our week. It hasn't half helped me over the past year or so she's been doing it. I've had some terrible things happen especially towards the end of last year but when you focus on the good stuff that happened in your week, even if it's just chocolate biscuits and sun... it makes all the difference :) Come play!
Right - back to what I'm actually here for - your sherbet post ;)

I'll have to check that out. My husband and I are dealing w/ infertility issues and I so need to stay in the now and remained focused on all the great things around me. I need to be focus on what I have vs. what I want.
I'm sorry you've had some terrible things happen, but it sounds like you're in a great frame of mind, or getting there at least. Gotta love the journey!! : )
