Turnaround.

[Whimsy Halloween cupcakes.]

To be completly honest, the last couple of weeks have been hard for me.  Boyfriend and I have both taken on additional responsibilities at work.  While rewarding, it's leaving us a bit more exhausted and stressed than I would prefer.  Combine that with our newly acquired adult worries and people walking in and out of my life, and I've found myself becoming subject to life's woes.  For years, my aunt and dad have been harping about a positive outlook program and have given me books, books on disc, and the movie version hoping that I would grasp onto it as well.  Last week, I was so down that I finally decided it couldn't hurt to change my outlook and take it seriously.  WOW - what a difference I've already experienced in my life.  From accepting the fact that no one else can determine my own happiness, to becoming more productive and happy at work, to reevaluating what I truly desire and love... it's working for me.  More than anything, I'm trying to focus on the every day things that make me happy.  Here's a glimpse into that, exclusively through Instagram photos.
