We All Have Those Days

A couple weeks ago, a friend asked me if I am always so happy. The honest answer to that is no.

This blog is all about happiness and creating it for ourselves and sharing it with others and because I want to help you make your life a little happier, I try to keep things as upbeat as possible.

That being said, I think it's important to talk about the hard days, too. And boy, do I have them! At least once a week, usually more, but definitely once, all I want to do is eat junk and watch TV. I can't really do that because a) we don't have junk in the house to eat, and b) I have a nine month old who requires undivided and total attention during all waking hours. But I still just feel like doing nothing. I feel useless.

I don't know why I have days like that. I don't know what triggers those feelings of blah-ness. Most of those blah days I just wonder what the heck I'm even doing. am I being a good mother? Why can't I keep the house clean? Does brock expect me to do more and I'm not living up to what he needs? Am I taking advantage of this whole stay at home mom business and just being lazy? And plenty more questions that I'm sure you ask yourself, too.

The fact is, we're human. WE are going to have down days. I think that is one of the biggest reasons I write this blog. Because sometimes I'm sad. Sometimes I'm frustrated. Sometimes I'm depressed. And it sucks. no one likes to have days like that! So the bigger part of me that hates the part of me that just wants to lounge around on the couch all day writes this blog.

I write it because I want you to overcome the sad days. I want there to be a majority of happy days and maybe the occasional sad day that makes us appreciate how happy we actually can be/actually are. I hope that when you are having a rough day, and you happen to read something I wrote, a little bit of happiness lights up inside of you, makes you think, makes you look differently at things around you, and maybe changes that blah day into something better.

I believe that happiness can be a way of life if we decide to live that way. Somedays I just give up and don't want to decide to be happy. I'm working on it. And you should, too! Together, we can change "those days" into something that pushes us forward and helps us grow and helps see the world as the beautiful place it is!

And Paislee says it's gonna be ok.
