I have trouble letting things go.  I have trouble moving on.  I let little things annoy me.  A lot.  I'm working on it. I learned today that only 10 percent of our happiness can be predicted by our outside circumstances.  The rest of it, well, that's all in our head.

My dad used to have a sign in his office that said something like, "Life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you react to it."

What it all comes down to is making up your mind to be happy. A lot of random crap happened this month and for a while all I could focus on was the negative. 

It felt overwhelming and it made me loose sight of all the things in my life that I need to be grateful for.  Everything is not always going to run smoothly and I need to learn how to be OK with that.

Let the reprogramming begin.  Let's take sometime to blog about what we're grateful for.  Let's take some time to share some intentional acts of kindness.  Let's be happy in the present.
