In the beginning...

They say that money doesn't buy you happiness. However, no one cares to clue you into the secret to happiness either. I don't think that's really fair. I think it may just be time to take a journey.

2011 marks a personal journey for me. It's a journey deeper into my life, into my own key to happiness, into appreciating all of the little things. As everyone starts the new year with resolutions to lose some weight, win the lottery, or take a trip somewhere, I want simpler things. Count the smiles... Live for the moment... Revel in everything and everyone I love.

In fact, it's even simpler still than that. My new years resolution is to take a few minutes several times a week blogging on something that makes me happy. The things that too often go un-noticed. Stay tuned, check back, and feel free to add your moments of happiness!
