100 Days to Happy: Harder Than It Looks

   So I haven't posted all week... It's a lot harder than it looks. Not because I haven't been having bad days but rather my days have been filled with with much good. From the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep I'm surrounded by amazing people that I am able to learn from or just have fun with. To me that excuse enough for not writing everyday this week. However I will try and be more disciplined and keep up with each day. It will be much easier next week because I have so many amazing things planned!

   June is almost over and it is time to travel! When it comes to traveling my motto is "Just Go." I wouldn't say to go an never look back. Going to a new place doesn't have to be due to some fatal flaw of the place you are leaving. There are many other reasons to visit a new place.

1.) New Adventure 
2.) New Experiences 
3.) New Local Culture
 
   Picture this. 11 year old is at home, getting ready for her first middle school dance, staring two pairs of shoes down. One pair, a reliable flat that's been on her side for a solid year. The other, a slightly elevated heal, never been worn. The purpose of one is extremely practical and safe. The other is a tad bit risky and a little more fun with a side of possible danger. She goes with the more exciting pair. Through the night she pseudo trips twice and falls into a chair once. Nothing earth shattering. She took a chance because why not! She ventured into new depths, or rather new heights! She didn't shy away from something new. Six years later and she goes to senior prom. The question isn't flats or heels, it's which pair of heels looks better with my dress. Not a hint of doubt that bigger is always better.
 
   “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”
Eleanor Roosevelt 
Take a chance, go for it. Pick a place and go for it.
