The Hunt For Happiness

Ok, I have taken a break from posting anything on my blog. It wasn't a case of not having anything to post.....quite the opposite! I have so many ideas for my blog, and I have so much to say!
But, sometimes it doesn't matter how much you want to do something, certain things can hold you back from doing what you want to achieve-that's just how life goes I suppose.

To be honest, I needed a break...one less commitment to worry about. I have bad memories that always resurface this time of the year so it's always a good idea to step back, take a breather and re-evaluate your life when things get too much or when things just aren't panning out the way you hoped.

As someone who does deal with social anxiety, not many people get to see the "happy" side of me. And to be honest, even I forget that part of me due to the pressures and stresses of life. It's funny, I recently bumped into an old friend I hadn't seen for years! and he said to me:

"You know, The one thing I remember about you is that you always loved to laugh-It didn't  
                       matter what it was about, you just loved to laugh all the time!"

And it hit me......He's right! What the heck happened to that girl?? Life shouldn't drag you down so much that you actually forget how to smile. I mean, don't get me wrong-I do know that I am capable of being happy, I just recognise that the older I get-the harder I have to work at achieving the happiness I deserve.

So now I am on a mission to find my happiness, and to be more comfortable and content with who I am. It's a long road and a bumpy journey, but its possible :-)

One thing I definitely need to work on, is eliminating negative things from my life-including people, and certain situations I put myself in.

I'm sure I will be posting more on the topic of happiness, so I will leave you now with......

                                      5 Random things that make me happy

1. Ok, The top reason for my happiness has to be my son-he is literally my best friend, and his smile and laughter lights up my heart in a nanosecond!                                                                  
2. Booking a flight to a random destination without a plan and just seeing what happens when I get there :-)                                                                                                                                     
3.  Watching vines on YouTube, some of them are terrible-but it's a guilty pleasure of mine!             
4. Salsa dancing, words can't describe how happy that makes me! especially when I'm dancing at home on my own to one of my favourite songs :-D                                                                         
5. Tea! I'm not even exaggerating, I don't know where I would be today if it wasn't for tea, it's the best drink EVER! (sorry coffee drinkers!) lol
