pursuit of happiness.

Day 2:
We finally reached our destination, and I've got to admit we were all pretty overjoyed to arrive. It was like seeing an old friend you haven't talked to in a couple years. This friend is a little more humid, and a lot hotter than our other friends.. but yet we still find ourselves coming back every year. I left Kelowna with a different mindset than usual when it comes to winter vacations. I wanted this one to be a little different, where I actually soak up every ray of sun I can, and enjoy every minute of the luxury that my family has given me. 

Lesson #2: Find something that makes you happy. 

As the day started out, all I felt was sleep deprivation and sinus congestion. I let this take over, and it literally crippled my mood for most of the day. Once lunch was eaten- a classic O'Connor Costco meal of pizza, hot dogs and gigantic ice cream bars- I grabbed a book and contently curled up on my lounger at the pool and read for two hours. I was happy as a clam! Because of this, I strongly suggest finding that one little something that you feel one hundred percent content to do all the time. On a vacation, or just simply spending the holidays in the comfort of your own home, you will feel a little bit relaxed and a lot more peaceful than if you let the bad things get the best of you. 


All for now,
