...Happiness

"...does not lie in possessions or even relationships. The answer lies within ourselves. If we can't find peace and happiness there, it's not going to come from the outside." ~Tenzin Palmo

This was the quote that was on my calendar for today. LOVED IT! I don't know how many times I have talked to people who aren't happy unless they have a date, or aren't happy because they didn't get a phone call, or aren't happy because they don't have the newest clothes, and the list goes on and on...All I have to say is I am happy! I did a lot of reflection for this new year, and I have decided to just embrace the moments as they come, take time to smell the flowers, and find peace in everything. We can't rely on others for our happiness. I am glad that I have been able to have the experiences that I have so that I could find my happiness from within.

What a great out look! Miss you. I'm pretty sure Toby and I will be tagging along with my family for Katelyn's farewell! I'm excited to see you!

SO GOOD
