what makes you happiest?
Being with my boyfriend, be it out on an adventure or just snuggled up on the couch watching a movie. I'm just immediately calm, happy, comfortable, and my spirits are immediately lifted when I am with him. I really love this guy.

do you have a ‘happy place’?
Pinterest. For real, instead of imagining up a happy place in my mind, I head to pinterest.com when I'm feeling off and I get to see a visual reminder of things that I love, people, places, objects that make me happy. And I can pretend to go shopping, pinning things I like without having to actually buy anything ;) I immediately remember, all of these beautiful things are beautiful, but they are just things. And it's the creativity that goes into imagining up and making beautiful things that I am most passionate and excited about. Pinterest immediately gives me fresh inspiration and reminds me to keep forging ahead with happiness, positivity, and a playful spirit.

do you have a favourite happy song?
Mirrorball by Elbow is the happiest, most dreamy, comforting song. It sounds like love. I could listen to it on repeat for days.

what gets you past a bad day?
A good hug from my boyfriend, a nice chat on the phone with a far away friend, a care package in the mail from my family, getting cozy and comfy and watching a sweet movie, working from bed when I'm feeling off and always having a cup of hot chocolate sitting nearby, forging ahead even when I feel timid or scared because the best things happen when you push past your bad day to create something beautiful from it. I am super competitive with myself, so when I am having a bad day, I want to prove to myself that I can turn it around into something positive.

what makes you
happiest?
Spending
time with my husband and daughter, being creative, going on a spontaneous trip
with my family
do you have a ‘happy
place’?
I
don’t – not yet. February is the month that I’m giving our office/craft room a
makeover and then I will!
do you have a
favourite happy song?
Anything
by Colbie Caillat or Norah Jones.
what gets you past a
bad day?
A
mug of chai, a good twitter conversation, cuddles with my daughter, and lots of
deep breaths.
I love these happiness posts. Although every person is different, the places where they converge (love, family, creativity) never fail to remind me what's really important :)
