Last week I pondered taking a break from blogging. My life is kind of in a lull right now after the holidays. Everything is in its in-between stage with the house so there's nothing to show there. The wedding photos still need to be edited and curated before showing you all the complete collections; it's kind of hard to do that without a personal computer and no home internet. We can't get pregnant now so there's only hypothetical babies about which to daydream and dispel rumors... we can't take our vacation or plan for it until after taxes are done...
So what the hell do I talk about in this waiting-to-live stage?
How to stay happy, no matter what.
- Surround yourself with love.
- Busy your mind with positive thoughts.
- Wear something that gives you a hitch in your giddy-up.
- Take the biggest pride in the smallest joys (ie. I can see. I'm not blind. I CAN SEE!!!)
- Do what you can, with what you have, right now.
- Take care of yourself and your health.
- Love yourself!!!

Well you make me happy ever single day I hear from you! You are definitely a person that I have met through blogging that I hope to meet in real life some day! I do understand what you mean about being in that waiting for life to happen rut. I told my hubby not long before the new year that I felt I was in one, but I wasn't sure why. I have so much going for me, but something is missing. So this year (hopefully sooner than later) I hope to find that something and fill that void that needs a little pick-me-up.
P.S. Thanks for tagging me to answer the 11 questions. I love that kind of stuff!
such an inspiring post for today. Love seeing something lie this when I'm harried and too busy to slow down, stop and think of the good things. . ..
@Jamie thank you! I want to meet you, too!!! I have a list of bloggers to meet IRL and you are SO on there!
I think the 'rut' feeling we have is that something is waiting for us this year! Something greater than we can imagine!!!
@Amy Jo, glad I could slow things down for ya for a minute!

Love your answers, girl! Thanks for participating! :)
This is so fun! I need to add this to my list of blog posts I'm working on.
And I just have to say, I really love your outlook on life. Remembering to be happy, and more importantly, why you're happy is such a positive way of looking at things!

I totally agree about South Dakota and I adore things like that! Thanks for the tag, darling:) Btw: Love the questions and adore reading more about you:) Muah
@Diana you do!?! I should write about ME more! LOL!
Thank you sooooo much!!! Loved learning more about you! xoxo
Loved reading your answers and thanks for tagging me in your list. I just posted my response this morning and have to say you've got me thinking I should do a post someday about the ten most shocking things my readers would never guess about me. Maybe I'll do it on April Fool's Day just to make them seem more unbelievable :D
@Stacie I love that idea!
