has been very laid back and relaxing.

i can't decide if i'm ready for a change of pace (aka FC) or if i'm not not ready to give up this easy-going lifestyle.

Anyway, God is amazing and His blessings continue to amaze me.

I am very happy right now and am just trying to find more ways to serve Him.

Hope your day is / has been / very blessed.

happiness for me, is usually a mindset.

don't get me wrong, certain things make me very angry & upset- and naturally, certain things just make me super happy.

but happiness as a daily, routine part of life is usually always my outlook or mindset.

i get frustrated, become jealous, and act selfish veryyy easily and usually when i stop and think about whatever it is that is bothering me, it's nothing to be stressin over. and i change my outlook and try and feel happy.

i mean, this ia a daily occurrence. i let little things cloud my entire mind and ruin a perfectly good day. so, i said no! besides, most things that frustrate me or get me jealous are truly blessings in disguise.

If changing my mindset doesn't work... thinking about God and His wonderful blessings can always make me happy. Or about Christ's selfless sacrifice - saving my soul in the midst of my sins.

ok, random post over.

btw--- I LOVE LIFE. i really do. ♥ hakel

i've never really enjoyed valentine's day. i've always looked at all the balloons at school and just wanted to pop them.

i can't believe i actually have a reason to be excited this year! yay. shocking really.


well, life is still good. definitely.

♥

good fortune; pleasure; contentment; joy.

Wow. first of all, sorry I have completely neglected pleonast! i have honestly, just totally forgot about it everytime I get online. I'd like be going throughout my day and be like oh ya! i need to go home and write that happiness post. but did i ever get around to it? no. well, i have now.

ok, back to the thought of happiness. I'd say i'm the happiest i've ever been right now. definitely. and then i can EASILY exchange that word with word blessed. wow, i mean- i am soooo blessed! the Lord is amazing. It's wonderful how amazing He is when you just stop and take the time to keep a good relationship with Him. Like, seriously- make God your best friend, the one you talk to the most and a lot of life's problems go away. plus with Him on your side, He can make all your wishes come true!

so yah. i'm not missing school. i miss all the stories i would come home with, but the teachers, classes, getting up at 6AM- nope. not at all. i miss my dear friends, of course. but i'm trying hard to keep in contact and close with them. that's one of my greatest priorities right now. seriously.

katie gave me a thought today. i have chose to love and have friends and get in a relationship. all of these things can be taken away from you so quickly and cause so much pain. but what joy would life bring without them? life would be constantly morose without receiving and giving love. the ability to love is such a blessing!!!

wow. God is great. Life is good. My friends are amazing. My boyfriend is awesome and I just couldn't be happier!

well, there are a few things i'd change. but, i'm definitley content with the blessings God has given me.

ok, so i dont post for forever and then go overboard. sorry!

i hope the rest of your day/night is blessed!

Lord willing, this should be an amazinggg year.
