Wander & Wonder

I do believe that happiness comes from within, and that we all have the ability to help ourselves feel happier regardless of what is going on around us. But without a doubt, it is a lot easier to feel happy when you are in an environment that supports you and makes you feel comfortable. I have been feeling very grateful for my new home, my new job, and all the friendly people I have met. Feeling welcomed, being surrounded by nature, and enjoying the simplicity of a smaller city has truly made it easier to feel like myself again. So if you are not in a place that feels exactly like what you pictured, hang in there, focus on the things you do like, change what is in your control, and keep dreaming about the kind of place you want to be in as you work your way toward it.
