My life has been filled with misfortunes, most of which never happened*

"Tell everyone you know: "My happiness depends on me, so you're off the hook." And then demonstrate it. Be happy, no matter what they're doing. Practice feeling good, no matter what. And before you know it, you will not give anyone else responsibility for the way you feel-and then, you'll love them all. Because the only reason you don't love them, is because you're using them as your excuse to not feel good." **

I'm really loving that quote above and since I found it, I have been reminding myself of it.  My happiness does depend on me no one else.  I've had issues with anger lately, so when I get upset I have been just remembering that its not worth it and I need to just be happy.  I don't want to use anyone for an excuse not to be happy.

Lots of reasons to be happy, too! 

Boy do I need to update more often!  I have so much swimming around in my mind, it would probably do me some good to get it out!  Free up some space!  :)
