2017 hasn't been easy, at least not for me. My marriage of 9 years fell apart. I had to sell my house and move and then move again. My job got a lot harder. I got in two fender benders in two weeks and the insurance company decided they were both my fault. My grandfather was diagnosed with and then died from cancer. I stood up for something I believed in and someone who disagreed with me started spreading rumors about my credibility. I've been sick and exhausted. And in the meantime, the people and causes I care about have been under fire from a government run by a man who brags about sexual assault.
Of course, there were plenty of moments of joy in 2017 as well. But going forward I want to focus on them, create more of them, and spread happiness to those around me instead of anxiety. Hence this project. Every day I will document my daily bits of glitter and yay: concrete actions I've tried to improve my mood or the world around me (feel free to join me in doing them!), happy quotes and inspiring art, little purchases to brighten the day or bring a smile to a friend. Sometimes I will throw in longer thoughts about science and self care and balance and being, but the focus will always be on joy.
Here's to the journey, friends 💕
