Happy Monday Ya'll!

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was really fun. I went on a date night with Kody on Friday, then had a girls day with my good friend on Saturday. We went up to the Pinner's Conference, and had an amazing pedicure! It was a really fun weekend.

Today's blog post is on a topic that I have been pondering on lately. It is on happiness. Is happiness a way of life, or is it a state of mind?

I remember thinking in college, that after I graduated then I'd be happy. The thing is, now I look back and think if only I could relive those college days. What I am getting at is that we can keep wishing to be happy, or we can just choose to be. Some days it is harder to choose to be happy, but in all reality happiness is a state of mind, not a state of life. 

In today's world, fame and fortune seem to make people happy, when in reality it's the small and simple moments that create the feeling of true happiness. 

I hope we can all strive to be a little happier and enjoy the here and now, focus on the positive aspects of life, and not dwell on the negative. 

This is one of my all time favorite quotes. I had it framed on my bedside during college it says, "Learn from the past, prepare for the future, live in the present." Thomas S. Monson

Every day that goes by is a day we can't get back. Why do we waste these valuable days choosing to be sad, or negative? I know if we all choose to be happy the world would be a much better and brighter place. 

Keep smiling!
