3 simple steps to a happier life

I've never been one to wait for my life. I don't like waiting to get work done, waiting for opportunities, or waiting for my life to improve. I must have an active role in my life and I accept fully the responsibility that I have for my own happiness. So, in that line of thought, here are some of the things that I have done this week (or today) to make my life a little less stressful and a little bit better.
1. Write a thank you card every night. It is the last thing that I do before I go to bed and it is a wonderful way to end the day - full of gratitude. I have lots of people in my life to thank so it will take me a while.
2. Zumba. I went to Zumba tonight with a good friend that I have met through work. I enjoyed it so much that I decided that I deserved to go back so I bought a 10 class pass. Wonderful stress relief.
3. Off of facebook. While there are many benefits to facebook (family, good friends, photo sharing, student groups) I felt that overall facebook was a negative contribution in my life. I felt that I check it too often and saw too easily what everyone else in the world was up to. There is no need for that. I am already enjoying being off of it and it is funny when people comment that they noticed.
Well, life can be difficult and it is difficult. Paradise is a place in your mind though, and it is your job to obtain it the best you can.
