What, exactly, am I doing?

Last year I saw the movie Julie & Julia and thought her blogging project was just phenomenal. I decided soon after that that I really wanted to create my own blog throughout the year of 2011. Well, over the summer of 2010 I had turned a corner on the road of life and somehow ended up going the opposite direction. What I mean is, my life turned completely around, and I spent the rest of '10 in utter bliss. In June of 2010 I started practicing yoga at this wonderful studio called Happy Buddha Yoga (happybuddhayoga.com) and from the moment I walked in there, I kid you not, my life was changed. Where does this come in? Well, I started realizing the happiness in lots of the small things in life. I told someone a story once about how, though I have always loved Autumn because of the changing of the leaves, I never noticed it the way I did in 2010. I literally remember the first day I saw a leaf half green and half yellow. I began to see everything in a new light. So, for this year, I decided on the perfect new year's resolution: I will document every day by posting a picture and note of something that made me happy that day.

So, heres to my resolution. I hope the things that make me happy can make other people smile as well.

 Happy 2011, everyone.
