My brain is so full right now, I’m not sure what to write. Yet I know I need to write.
Right now I’m experiencing some extreme highs and lows in life. I know things will all even out in the end, but it’s like being on a roller coaster ride that just doesn’t stop.
I’m not a fan of roller coaster rides.
And so I continue to push forward, stay positive, and be thankful it’s summer in Maine.

Beach therapy always helps.
It also helps to choose happiness. Because I’m happy. I can only let things bring me down so much. Because for all the things that bring me down, there are even more things that lift me up. Really great things.
So today I share with you two great posts I’ve come across recently that are worth a few minutes of your time to read.
The first one is from Time and is about the seven key choices happy people make every day. I can attest to all of them, though I could definitely be better on the last one.

The second post is by my good friend and blogger behind The Mom Cafe, Chris Carter. She writes about the innate traits women have that bind us together in sisterhood. It is beautiful and reminds me of how thankful I am to have such a supportive group of women in my life (real and virtual!).

Of course, when all else fails, a dance party is clearly in order.

Will you choose happiness today?
