Choose Happy

I wish I could say I came up with today's title but I didn't.  Rather  it came from one of my LS's that's wise beyond her years and shades the everlasting life out of me.  She's right though.  Little known fact about me I get the blues fairly often and have since high school.  It's incredibly easy to stay in a rut once you're in it.  It's cozy down there, it gives your face time to relax cause you're not smiling, and you can stay home and save money.  It's the emotional toll it takes that's costly.  So right on schedule it seems I found myself down this weekend (for reasons I won't go into simply because they're ridiculous).  Talking it out with her she pretty much told me that I can be sad or I could try to feel better.  "Happiness is a choice" she often says, and I have to believe her.  Doing makeup everyday is a choice I make.  I choose to do it because it makes me happy.  Choosing to be happy seems difficult at times, but choosing the things that make me happy always helps to pull me out the dumps.  When things seems out of your control and out of your power, there's always one thing you can choose.  Choose happy.  

New makeup also makes me happy, today I have on MAC All Fired Up with MAC Nightingale Lip Liner
Folks, summer is coming and I've been going strong since January.  I'm shifting gears and will be focusing on eye makeup starting next week.  Yay!

    Hello BLM Sister,

    Not sure if my comment went through, but I had mentioned that I can relate as well. Something as small as getting dressed up/spice up my outfit & put on some makeup makes a difference.

    Yes, happiness is a choice and sometimes it feels so hard to choose it even though we want it so badly! But, I'm going to be more intentional about choosing happiness. Great post and awesome lippie! #BLMGirl

    Choosing to be happy can sometimes be so hard. I try to find joy in the little things. Like a blue sky, a delicious meal and my daughter's smile. And you are so right. I was just talking to friend to not let herself fall for feeling sad. It's so easy to fall into those feelings but so hard to get out. Hope you're feeling better :) #BLMGirl
