How to be happy in 2019

Be happy in 2019 Live your best life 

I am going to share with you a simply list of things that I have come up with to be happy in the new year. I have done a lot of soul searching since before the new year began as I wanted to be a happier person. This is what works for me. You can try them all or choose at random, it’s totally up to you.

1. Enjoy the small things- no this is not easy for those of us that want everything perfect and in order in our lives as we live by routines. But sometimes it’s satisfying  to step out of the routine and enjoy that extra moment.

2. Start a gratitude journal- sitting and thinking at the end of the day what you are thankful for is a good way to reflect and appreciate  things.

3. Journal your feelings- had a rotten day, write it down and let those feelings out on the pages in your writing. Had a fabulous day document it in a journal. Writing your feelings

of any sort help get them out and not clog up your happiness.

4. Live in the moment- this goes hand in hand with enjoy the small things. Don’t let your past keep chasing you. Don’t stop dreaming of your future but be present in the now.

5. Be kind- spreading kindness in your words and actions can be a game changer for everyone. Do this no matter how someone treats you at the end of the day that stranger may reflect on it and be the highlight of their day.

Hope you enjoyed, thanks for stopping by.

Tell me in the comments what’s on your list to be happy.

God bless

Wednesday Hodgepodge

Hope your all having a great Wednesday!!! Wow it has been a while since I have wrote on this blog once again. So why not start back up with a link in!!! Here is the original post and where the link up start http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/


1. March is known as the windy month. Which of the following phrases best fits your March so far....'throw caution to the wind', 'three sheets to the wind', 'runlike the wind', or 'seewhich way the wind blows?

Well I would have to say that see which way the wind blows. One day here it is nice and sunny then the next the wind is blowing everything around while the sun is out and it is chilly.

2.Your favorite green food? Your favorite dish made with your favorite green food?  Favorite green food, hmmmm that one is a little hard considering that I like all kinds of foods that are green. so I am going to say okra. I love to make fried okra it is so yummy!!!

3. Ever been locked out of your home-car-office-anywhere? Do tell!!!
Oh I have been locked out of my house and my car. One day I was at Tuesday Mornings with my youngest son and I was done shopping and went to get in the car and realized that the keys were still in the ignition!!! My husband was out of town and I didn't have any money to call a locksmith. So I had to break into my own car and everyone around me was giving me the stuff to do so but the 2 cops parked across a couple of spots did nothing. Mind you that this was in the summer time and my son was so good. He sat on the parking block in the shade and played with his toys while I broke into the car.

4. Yoda, Kermit, Shrek, The Wicked Witch of the West, Oscar the Grouch, The Grinch, or Mike Wasowski (Monster Inc).... of the green characters listed, which one's your favorite and why?  I have to say that I like Shrek, he reminds me a lot of myself. He tries to get his point across but no one ever takes him seriously, I have to say Mike Wasowski too. He is the same everyone just runs him over while he trying to be serious as well.

5. "The first task of a leader is to keep hope alive. "-Joe Batten" do you agree? Why or why nope?  I do agree because if you don't have hope then you have nothing to live for. You have to have hopes and dreams because of you don't you have anything to live for.

6. Share a favorite song with an emotion in its title.
Hmmmm, this is another one that I have to think about. I do listen to a lot of music but I'm not really keen on remembering names and titles. I am the same way with movies.

7. Whats a road trip you'd like to take? I would like to take a road trip with my family to go to Mississippi to see the rest of my family. It has been 13-14 years since I have been back there to see them. My daughter was just barely a year old the last time I have seen them and she is now almost 14.

8. Insert your own random thought here.
Random thought for today is all work and no play til 5 o'clock when its the end of the work day!



Sorry there is no pictures to make this blog post more eye catching but my computer doesn't want to work in my favor rite now Lol.

I have everyone enjoyed and have a great and blessed Wednesday!


Krystal and Family.

Well.....

I don't have a lot to post about today. Except that we are going to an auction tonight to see what kind of furniture they have so that I can maybe start the rest of my organizing in my scrapbooking room. I am very anxious to get it going and move on to another room in the house. The reason I choose this room first is because it is suppose to be the dining room but we don't see the means to use it as one and it is by the front door so when everyone comes over its one of the first rooms that you see.

So tomorrow hopefully I can go to the Dollar Store and get some storage baskets/containers and get the rest of this stuff under control. The kind of attitude I am going to have is if the container is full then it probably needs to go because I have to much of that one thing. But anything that comes out of my scrapbooking room I will probably give away to someone I know that scrapbooks and know that they will put it use.

I am going to try and document the process as I go as much as I can. I have playing around with Blogger and have figured out a few things with it (such as scheduling post so that I can get ahead a little bit).

Well I am off to anxiously await for tonight to go to the auction and hopefully find some things that I need to organize with.

Have a great day and Thanks for stopping in!!!

Boy am I behind, way behind!

So since the last time I posted any thing, I have been watching my niece and she is still very little and requires a lot of my attention. So with that being say I have fallen off my organization train. I have not been watching her the last couple of days and I am really tiring to get back on track with things. I have manged to get everything clean but now it is time to organize things and get my family back on track. We have been on track for the most part as far as following the nightly route.

I am hoping to get a job soon so that I can really get back in to the swing of things. I have seen the same 4 walls for far to long and i ma losing my mind. I have to figure out a different way that works for me also as far as organizing coupons. I am going to watch lots of Youtube videos and try out new things and see what works best for me. As far as my binder I still have it and I still use it. It has my bi-weekly/monthly budget in it, schedules, grocery list, etc and I need those on a daily/weekly basis.

I don't have a picture share for this post either sorry. :(

I know I have said this before but I am really really going to try and keep up post on here. I need a notebook for all of ideas that I have and spend more time writing them out.

I hope everyone has a great day!!!
