Little Bits of Happiness {1}

If you decide to scroll through any of my posts, you may notice that I have a big thing for focusing on the positive things in my life. I have my mom to thank for my glass-is-half-full perspective. Optimism can seem like just a way of looking at things but it's also a choice and an action. Think about it. Just deciding to smile for no reason while walking down the street, deciding to hold the door for an extra few seconds so someone can come in, deciding to appreciate the one good part of a horrible day - inevitably, these positive choices and actions will make you happier. It's not always a quick fix but it does work. Well, now that I've written a tiny theory (totally not what I was intending to write but ended up ranting), let me get into the fun part of this post. The lovely Mrs. Stephanie T recently started her own weekly post called "Little Bits of Happiness." She invites everyone to follow along, post pictures/words that have brought them happiness throughout the week, and then to link their posts on her blog. This kind of post is COMPLETELY me and I am thrilled to share with you my little bits of happiness this week.

My Krust envelope doily clutch came in! You should have seen me rip open the packaging. Excitement you wouldn't believe!

I love Carter's silly side!

Randomly, I found this iPhone case at the Gap. Floral and 20% off. Need I say more?

This one may be from a bit over a week ago, but it was taken after the swelling and pain from my wisdom teeth extraction finally went away. I may not have smiled but I was so happy to put on makeup and to feel like myself again! (p.s. my roots aren't red. It's just the lighting)

Tim Horton's coffee always makes me happy. However, it tastes even better on a snowy morning.

I tried this drink for the first time at Starbucks and it paired well with the pretty view of my university campus.

I am crazy for hand-holding! Typical hopeless romantic kind of stuff.

Nothing makes me happier than this little guy.
