Think Happy, Be Happy {Blog Hop}

Happiness - it's something we all strive for, hope for, and work for. Some people never seem to achieve it, no matter how hard they try. I think that finding happiness is harder to find now more than ever. Social media makes it easy to compare our lives to picture perfect images of other's lives, we take on more commitments than ever before while trying to find balance, and we just can't ....stop.

I'm guilty of it. Daily. My baby shrieks instead of cooing. My toddler is sassy and tells me "no!" more than yes, and my husband and I don't get weekly (or shoot, monthly even) date nights. But making up those situations are moments. And moments are where I've found my happy.

Within every bad day, there are good moments. Good moments just waiting to be discovered, realized, and remembered. Once I started finding the good moments, my whole mindset shifted and I felt happier.

Sure there are moments where there are tantrums and sassy kids, but the sweet moments of changing doll diapers and cooling off (already cold) coffee are the ones I'll remember.

Sweet moments between sister and brother, and sweet baby smiles.

The best daddy in my world

It's the moments that I'll be looking back on in a year, and after my kids are grown and gone. The days are long, but the years are short - so very true.

This link party was created as a way to create some inspiration and happiness as we begin our week. It can be hard to find the happiness in our day to day, and I believe it truly does help to take a second to find the positive. Please take a second to visit all of my wonderful co-hosts who will be sharing this link party as well!
