Bits of Happiness

Last week seemed to be a very unlucky week. I spilled my coffee continuously, only had decaf coffee to drink, totally blanked on a math test, and then sealed it all off with a game of bumper cars (yes.... a small parking lot wreck) before going to take my first ACT. Somehow I managed to keep myself together all week, but I did come home yesterday after my test and cried to my sister on the phone, watched a hopelessly romantic movie meant for pre-teens, and cuddled under a big quilt. However, today is a new day and tomorrow marks a new week. I decided this morning that writing a post on the good things from this week would give me a better outlook. Who knows, maybe it will become a weekly thing.

So here are my first "bits of happiness":

• Happiness can be found in every song by Jillian Edwards. Her voice is so pretty and airy. It took me forever to figure out which song I wanted to post, but I finally made a decision.

• For me, happiness can be found on the back of a shampoo or skin care bottle. I have, and always will love the small descriptions on the back. Today I bought a grapefruit scented face wash and lets just say it had the best description I ever read. It made my day.

• Happiness can be found on pinterest. Look at some of the precious pins I found this week:

• Happiness can always be found in the Word. This week, while I was stressing over the ACT and just about everything else, I flipped open my bible to a Psalm and found great comfort in this verse: "May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant." Psalm 119:76 Whatever you face this week, whether good or bad, think on this verse and let his love fill and renew your heart.

I hope you have a wonderful and positive week. Look for the bits of happiness in your life and fully absorb them. Hold them in your hands and let them brighten your eyes. You won't regret it. 

With love,
