Matthew often teases me about being sad and miserable. It's mostly teasing, and in my head I'm reasonably content, but I can't help but wonder what my attitude and demeanor are saying to others. I want to be a positive, happy person. I want my children to remember me smiling and those I meet to feel uplifted by my kind and cheery nature. More than that, I want to be happy. I spend a lot of time thinking about what needs to be done and getting irritated by every minor disturbance or discomfort. I think that's probably a waste of time and the mindset certainly isn't making my life better. Happiness is a choice, so my goal for this year is to find joy in the moment. I will focus on being positive, finding the silver lining, saying kind things, hugging my children, kissing my husband, smiling and laughing. Now there's a goal that sounds like a lot of fun!

Me too!
You, negative? Crazy talk. I'm sorry you feel that way, though. It's an uphill battle some days, isn't it?
Plus, I love the cute little footie pictures from your last post. Baby feet kill me.
