Happiness Is...

• sleeping in a hotel on a tuesday night with 2 of your best friends (for no other reason than the fact that the hotel has a water slide)
• getting ridiculously lost with my mom and laughing the whole time
• my dad taking a picture of his friend Jim in a leopard print snuggie
• driving drew crazy by talking non-stop during his favorite tv show
• knowing that in 1 month i will be skiing in COLORADO with my bestest friend
• never being alone thanks to a God who always hears my prayers
• our apartment FINALLY not smelling like bacon 2 weeks after i made it
• starbucks hot chocolate and talking about life plans with Alyssa
• snow in the forecast again

In Everything.

You know what I hate that I have been doing a lot lately?

Well, it starts with a C and ends with a omplaining. I always have taken to the phrase "if you dont like something in your life then change it." Nobody likes to be around people that are always complaining, whether that be about money, jobs, or anything really.

It is understandable that people need to talk about lifes stresses and it would be impossible to be honest about life without occasionally complaining. BUT the complaining I have been doing is worse. It is self pity, which is not constructive. I have been stressed mostly about my job lately and the hours being less than ideal some days, as well as my bosses being inflexible and often quite strict. I complain about having to wake up before 6am and then I complain about not getting home until 7pm. However, when am I ever thankful for the fact that I get 2 days during the week that are short and allow me time to run errands during the day and see friends?

I need to change my perspective before I got swallowed by the negativity shark.
