Nerdy&Fabulous: Making myself happy...

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and a weekend at the beach with 40 other co-ops didn't give me much time to think but gave me lots to think about. The one thing I really decided I want to do is make myself happy. I found myself some times this weekend sitting with some people and wondering if what the other people were doing was more fun. Not that I wasn't having fun, I was just worrying that I was missing out on something more fun. But then it hit me, I should live in MY moment. I need to stop worrying about what else is going on and focus on giving the people near me my full attention and enthusiasm.

Living here seemingly by myself has made me realize that I want to be the person who is happy no matter what and who does what she wants to do when she wants to do it. No more waiting around for a friend to text me or feeling sorry for myself just sitting at home. I can read books, go for runs, scrapbook, call friends not in the great state of Texas.

So my goal for this week is to make myself pretty darn happy. I'd love to have a contagious kind of joy and make the people around me happy too, but I'm not going to expect others to make me happy. Here's to controlling my own destiny on a day-by-day basis. Cheers :)

And because I alluded to the beach, enjoy some photos :)
