happy friday – take it easy

as the first friday of the year is upon us, i’ve realized my need to slow it down. i’m always going a million miles a minute (or it seems that way) and rarely take time to chill out and enjoy the little things in life. i do have a couple of projects i’m going to focus on over the weekend, but they are very much in the realm of taking some time to sort it out.

my first order of business for the weekend is coming up with my goals for my happiness project. erin at artsocial, christie at bedside design and sandra at raincoast cottage have started a be happy link-up and i’ve been wanting to join in for a while. kory from a new and lovely journey just started her happiness project today. i definitely need to make this happen myself! i may be a smidge late in my post but i need some time to figure out what my happiness goals are for the year.

my second order of business is finishing up my last call from the holiday council, run by molly mahar, and figuring out how my 2013 intention can be brought into my every day life. i wanted to set a theme for the year and hadn’t figured anything out until i commented on a post pj had written over on bunny and dolly. it was then that it occurred to me that my theme had been staring me in the face for a while now. i just hadn’t recognized it for what it was. i hope to share what i figure out with you all next week!

but for now, slow it down and enjoy your weekend. ;)
