Happiness

I've been reading the Happiness Project blog recently as well as a few others that are not related to photography. One other of my new favorites is Unclutter. They've made me think about the things I can get rid of in my life (like the clutter) and to focus on the things that are important, the things that make me happy. So on that I note I thought I'd make my list of Happiness Commandments and what better place to share them.

1. Act as I want to feel
2. Let it go
3. Stay calm
4. Forgive yourself
5. Lighten up
6. Don't wait ~ do it today
7. Make time to act silly
8. Expect Miracles
9. Smile
10. Clean out the clutter

I'm sure these will change, grow and be added to over the next few weeks/months. But I figure this is a start.

We had a fun and happy 4th of July ~ Hope you did too~
