Let me tell you the story of when I did some DIY magic.... I upcycled a coffee table (that I somehow managed to spoil by spilling an ink cartridge all over it.... how I did that is another story!)
Anyway, the point is that, as I was working my way through it, I started thinking how similar this was to what happens in our lives.

Recently I was described as "the woman who doesn't stop smiling, whether it rains or snows" It's not the first time I've been told that, in fact, I hear it nearly every day. But I have to say I have never really let that sink in. I simply was "the woman who doesn't stop smiling" I accepted it and I lived by it, because truth is, that's who I am.

This led me to think 2 different things:

Ever wondered how people manage to wake up on a daily basis and smile? How on earth with all that is going on they still manage to find a positive way? Well, wonder no more, these are people that know that the happiness is not a destination, happiness is a journey and is in the little things.

Lately I've discovered the power of meditation. It's not that I didn't know of it before or haven't tried it, it's just that it's only now that has clicked for me.
Suddenly it made sense, the breathing, the mind wandering, the sounds, the focus and attention, listening to my body....

I recently went through a period in which everything in my life seemed to go wrong. And when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING: family, friends, work, health....
It all started with small little things, a little thing bothering me here, a little thing bothering me there.... since they were only small things I didn't care much, why should I? Same as they came they'll go....
