This is my record of my journey to find peace in my stressed out life. I am simply going to post what I am currently working on doing to find inner peace and happiness both as a personal record and just in case anyone else will stumble upon and use the information. I will also gladly take any advice or inspiration. :0)

Spring is in the Air

I know, it's been many months since I made this blog and lots and lots have happened. In fact I needed it a few times but didn't use it. So here we go again. I work at the aviary now, at least until June, doing outreach/education. I love it and it is a great experience! However, it means that I have to work on Sundays :0/ This means that I haven't been to church in months, which really bugs me. I also have gotten out of the habit of going to bible study, which really irks me. I need to put more time back toward spiritual growth. I also haven't been exercising. I would like to blame it on the cold, but I should start making it a priority again.

It turns out that thinking positive and working on these things have helped immensely. I still haven't completely let go of some of my pain towards Aaron, but we don't talk and I feel I healed a lot faster once I realized that I was the only one holding myself back. I am trying out dating Jason, and so far it is working well. Every friendship/relationship has it's challenges so it's really more about how you decide to handle them.

Also Jon is going through a very similar set of feelings following his own graduation from college and hard to handle break up. His is very different but he has very similar feelings to what I did. I want very much to help him and I am trying to give him advice from what I went through. Perhaps I should give him this blog url... though that would be a huge opening of my own feelings to him which is scary. But you're supposed to do one thing that scares you every day, right? haha

from another awesome blog, 15 lessons to keep in mind to being happy. we'll do one a day

1. The only person that can ever truly make you happy is yourself. Stop depending on everyone else.
