Sort of part 3 of 3 Finding Your Happiness Series

Hello Everyone, what I should be writing it part 3 of 3 on happiness, however as I write I find myself embarrassed and saddened by the delay in getting back to the blog.  A TON has happened during the last 9 months (and no it was not a baby - ha). I say that only because I'm already the mother of 4 and grandmother of 7.

I wanted to give you all the update and tell you that while it's been a long while, way too long! I'll give you the quick version of the update.

1.       We have finally moved into our new house, praise the Lord!

2.       My new craft space is finally finished - woo hoo,

3.        I'm ahead on my Bible reading ;-)  yeah! I decided to do a " read through the Bible in 365 days" reading plan.  I've never done that before and it's been a real joy a
nd surprisingly I look forward to it. I know, I know, that sounds bad. In the past I just did hit-or-miss reading and it wasn't as meaningful to me. I'm really enjoying it and encourage you all to give it a try as well.

4.       I have big plans for getting the StampinMania.com website revamped and working as I originally had wanted it to.

5.       I started picking a word for the year, my word for 2014 was "gratitude" my word for 2015 is "attitude".  I've been focusing on improving mine as far as not letting things get to me like they used to. So far so good - it's going well. 

6.       I've been spending most of my free time on my StampinMania.com website. It's a small online paper-crafting website I started not quite 2 years ago. Crafting is a passion of mine and I've had many hurdles but I'm not giving up!

I feel stronger than ever that now is the time for me to help encourage others. We all go through rough patches, it's how you handle them that is important. I recently saw a saying, and for the life of me can't remember where - probably Pinterest, but it said "Disappointments are Inevitable; Misery is Optional" I like it so much I put it up on my board at work.

I will close for now with a promise to post regularly, even if it's just to say Hello. I hope you are all having a blessed day.  Remember - Focus on what you do have, not on what you don't have.
