Happiness Project Month 5
When I started my happiness project back in January I was off on such a good foot. I really did spend the month organizing my life and making things work better for me, my family and my home. In February I focused on finances and a few road blocks and life circumstances threw me off. Now I feel like I’m playing catch up and trying to check all my unchecked items off my list whilst tackling my new month items.
In April I was supposed to focus on marriage and it didn’t quite go the way I wanted it to. Ironically Kyle and I had one of our biggest fights of our relationship that started over the dog eating Oliver’s Easter candy. Such a dumb fight. While we did do a good job getting out on dates and holding to our commitment of spending one-on-one time together, that’s about all I can give myself credit for. I may have sheepishly crossed off “being grateful for my husband everyday.” Technically true, I doubt I communicated those feelings to him. I’m happy that May’s focus piggy backs on April and gives me an opportunity for redemption while I focus my attitude.
APRIL - MARRIAGE
one date a week- make more time for sex
be grateful for my husband every day- let it go
- don't pick fights
- go out of my way to do acts of kindness

MAY - ATTITUDE
- start each morning with a 10 minute meditation, focusing on my outlook and attitude for the day
- take mental note of negativity and complaining
- resist raising my voice to my family
- do an act of kindness each day
- let it go. Whatever it is, let it go.
- Do all things with love
