Well, at least this time it's been less than a year since I last checked in. However, it's been the kind of year that feels like five. Wow.
I've had major changes at work that have moved my career forward in major ways, but that also added to my stress, responsibilities, and workload. My sweet and smart little girls have entered second grade and become much less little. Plus, we bought a beautiful new home and sold a beloved old one. Every one of these changes has been so wonderful and so overwhelming at the same time.
To be honest, I know I am very lucky and very blessed. So, the question is this, "Why can't I sit back and enjoy all this happiness?"
I started this blog almost four years ago and while so many things have changed, so many things have stayed the same.
I was inspired by Gretchen Rubin's "The Happiness Project," and made it my goal to follow her pathway to ultimate happiness. Unfortunately, her amazing book was too much at one time...the equivalent of a crash diet...and I couldn't stick to it.
So, it's a fresh(ish) start with simple goals and no expectation of perfection. And, isn't letting go of perfection the first step toward happiness?
