Cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity. – Joseph Addison Sometimes we have to actively seek AND create our own happiness/joy. With that in mind, this weekend I tackled (and welcomed) some big things…all with the intent of “boosting” my own level of […]
