The story behind the blog

The idea of this blog first came about when Brenna and I were sitting in my car, in her driveway, in the rain. We had both recently been struggling with things *cough* men *cough* and after two hours of deep conversation we decided that we needed to do something about it. I recalled that during a surprisingly happy week, I had written down some "tips for happiness". We decided to create a space to share ways we have found to be happier.

Here is the first one:

Be thankful...for EVERYTHING! Even your trials, no matter how big or small they may be. Years ago, our family pet dog got hit by a car. He was a really dumb dog...the car didn't run into him, he ran into the car. Anyway, I was really down about it so I talked to my mom and she told me that whenever I was feeling down, to think of three things that I am thankful for. I tried it and it actually works! Thanks mom. I still use this method today and it still holds true.
