Over 3 months ago, I embarked on a journey about choosing happiness. Being intentional daily to seek out the good, and relish in the small joys of life. One hundred days later, I find myself in awe of how a little project can produce so much change. The picture aspect has shown the beauty in life, however the true joy has come from a gradual changing of attitude. A change within my heart if you will. Now this certainly does not mean that the past 100 days have been unblemished. Free from frustration, doubt, displeasure, or the like. But rather, it has been filled with love. With compassion, appreciation, laughter, joy, and hope.

I started this #100happydays series as a way to intentionally seek out the beauty & joy all around me & to focus on what the Lord has so generously blessed us with. At first, I was plagued with the need to share only what I thought “worthy” of sharing, but as the days went on, I simply put that which made me happy, regardless of whether it would be well “liked”. And friends, I was able to rejoice in true happiness, my heart overflowing with love. This has been not only a fun little journey, but an eye opening one. Since Nov, in this last year of my 20s, it has been a year of discovery, a year for for being molded further into who I was created to be, and a year to simplify the clutter. So excited to see what the Lord has in store for the next 100+ days & beyond!
If you were following along on Instagram these past 100 days, you also saw this quote below that I posted recently. Which is one of the reasons I’ve been a bit more MIA here on the blog, and floating around a bit more on other outlets of social media that are more instantaneous (read- able to conquer via iPhone). This space is so precious to me, and I never want it to become a chore or obligation. I write from the overflow of my heart and the experiences of my tiny little life. So as free time has been gobbled up with ‘living life to the fullest’ with friends and family these past few months, I am tickled to think of where this space is headed and all that is to be shared in the future. So if you’re still hanging on to read about the remaining Spiritual Disciplines, get ready. Or if you’re lingering to see the rest of the Elliott Homestead, get ready. Because it’s all right around the corner along with some exciting new endeavors I can’t wait to share with you!
