our walk thru historic downtown huntsville

Hi! And welcome to my official start of regular blogging.

So, you know how you are reading other people’s blogs/Facebook page etc., and you see all the exciting things that they did over the weekend: how they went to a restaurant and had an amazing burger or a great cup of ice cream, how they took a walk thru a picturesque part of town and then posted beautiful pictures of what they saw.  I really like checking in on Crystalin and her blog In the City with Crystalin for her Weekend Recap.  She has always done something amazing.

I have found myself thinking: “I never do anything like that” or “Some people have all kinds of fun.” Then I had to correct myself. I DO do those things.  I do not do them often enough and I am not INTENTIONAL about making time and more importantly, mostly, I do not enjoy them fully when they are happening.  So, last month, the hubby, the pooch, and I went for a walk in downtown Huntsville.  Here are the pics. What do you think?

What are you going to be INTENTIONAL about doing this week?

enjoy life…

hi! i’m shannan!

Hi!  I’m Shannan.

Over the past six years, I have been on a rather serious and thoughtful journey to discover what I wanted out of my life and the ultimate thing that I discovered: I wanted to be happy!  Mind boggling, right?

I have thoughtfully, slowly and steadily worked on finding out what is happiness for me: what I like, what makes me happy, and everything in between. This year, I started reading “The Happiness Project” by Gretchen Rubin. See her awesome blog here. And one of things that she did to contribute to her happiness was to start a blog which I have been thinking about doing for a very long time.

One of things that I have discovered that will make you happy is doing things that you have been thinking about doing for a very, very long time. So…here is my blog.

In it, I will share my experiences, my thoughts, my insights (for what they are worth), on things that make me happy and that I think could make you happy as well.  And hopefully, the blog will make me happy, too!

enjoy life…
