Find Your Happiness Friday

Have you all been waiting in excitement for what Friday's post has in store for you?  The wait is over, my blog friends, and I hope you like what I have for you.

On Monday, I talked about how it seems that people as a whole are unhappy in some form or another. This makes me sad, and I guess, more unhappy.  I thought a lot about what I could do to find a little more happiness to get me throught those especially dark days, and how I could help others find their happiness. 

 

Here's how it works.  Each Friday, I will post something that makes me feel happy.  This can be a simple hug from my son or a solution to a complex problem.  You can do the same.  If you choose to participate, please link back to me and use the button below on your blog:

 

Here's the html code that you can copy and paste into your posts:

You should also leave a comment after my Find Your Happiness post to let me know that you have posted something.  This way we can visit your blog to see what's making YOU  happy AND everyone who does a Find Your Happiness post will be entered to win something different each week.  This week, I am giving away a set of four hand-crafted, hand-stamped cards, two birthday and two thank you cards:

   

Winner will be chosen randomly Monday evening, after 9:00 EST.  If you do not have a blog, you are still able to join in the happiness...just post how you are finding your happiness this week in the comments section!

Let's get to it...How did I find my happiness this week?  I started to re-organize my kitchen cabinets.  Here is the before of the first cabinet:

 

And after:

 

Here is the before of cabinet two:

 

And before:

 

THIS makes me happy.  And I'm hoping this just the beginning of more organization.  I took my time doing these amongst much chaos, and while it was crazy while I was working on it, the final result makes me feel slightly more in control of my life. 

So, how are you finding your happiness?

I LOVE this idea!

Now...can you tell me again slowly and with little words how I link what to where. I want to do this with my blog, but I am a cyber-illiterate.

Oh, and your cabinets are AWESOME! Doesn't that feel so good???? Kudos!

You're going to be completely anal before you know it! They look fabulous - and the counters, too. Seeing your cabinets and, knowing how happy they make you makes me happy! Last night I got to play with makeup and be girly at a MaryKay party-that makes me happy! Love this idea by the way!

Great idea-your cabinets look awesome!

Okay... there is no way I'm going to use that girly graphic! :D

But it's a terrific idea. I look forward to reading happy posts.
