Lisa's little word for 2011

All week I've been thinking about what my new years resolutions would be and I came across the 

one little word project.

I knew right away that this would be my word.

Not because I'm depressed or not happy, I just need to look at this word in a new perspective.

Too many times a day I think these phrases:

"I'll be happy when . . ."

"If  . . . works out, then I'll be happy."

I found myself always looking towards something and never quite enjoying "the now."

That's an issue for me that I want to work on for 2011. 

However, I didn't realize it until I made this card for a friend.

It's time for me to always be happy. Making that card reminded me I needed to celebrate every single day. If you look closely at it, it reads,"Happy Engagement, Happy Birthday, Happy Christmas, Happy New Years,

And once I gave it to her, she gave me this in return.

Naturally Happy, found here

What a lovely way to remember my goal. Naturally happy, everyday.
It was perfect!

If you want to be happy, be.
