Happy Birthday
Today marks the one-year anniversary of Living Happiness, the day that suddenly I would start sharing my thoughts and my life with the world (with complete strangers!) and hope they would want to stop by, chat, rest a spell, and share with me their own experiences, too. I was nervous, I was excited, I was hopeful, and slowly but surely all of these things came to be. One visitor led to another, and before long I was meeting beautiful people from all over the world … and reading their wonderful stories! What a gift! What a joy!
On this birthday, then, of Living Happiness (which began it’s life as “My Pursuit of Happiness”) I want to do three things.
First, I want to thank you my readers for your faithfulness and for the joy you’ve brought into my life. I write for myself but I also write for you.
Second, I want to thank the following friends in the blogging community that opened its arms to me. These people have been supporters of Living Happiness from the very beginning and are still here even after my five-month hiatus, and I cannot thank them enough:
- Janice Hunter from Sharing the Journey
- Nadia from Happy Lotus
- Lance from The Jungle of Life
- Dani from Positively Present
- Jay Schryer from Porsidan
- Gina Pruette from Stacked Life
If you do not already know these bloggers, please stop by their page and read the kinds of things they are writing. They are all amazing individuals, each doing their own part to share joy and happiness with the world … and help you do so, too.
Third, I want to leave you today with a read through memory lane. Below are a sprinkling of a few of Living Happiness‘s earlier posts, as well as some of my handpicked personal favorites. Please feel free to read and comment on them. And by all means, enjoy!

And to all of you lovely readers who are not, have a beautiful weekend!

How did I miss this the first time around? Probably too wrapped up in my own drama…I apologize for that.
Anyway…
Thank you (belatedly) for including me here! These are some mighty fine folks to be associated with. You are a kind and beautiful soul, and so you attract other kind and beautiful souls. I love your blog, and I love you!
