Even though I'm living a life-long struggle with IBD and have daily chronic pain, I consider myself to be a generally happy person and would say that I have a happy life.
I wanted to share some things that I sprinkle into my days that I believe help me feel the general sense that I have a happy life- not despite the pain, but pain included.
Life is FULL of wonderful things, as well as lots of horrible things. The world is particularly heavy right now, but any time I can break up the day with any of the things I talk about in this video, my heart feels a little bit lighter and I have a little more energy to participate.
Ps there are time stamps and lots of links to other helpful things in the description of this vid on YT

๐I honestly feel like overall my life is so good and I have so much to be grateful for. Every day I am so in love with my husband and kids. We have our home and our health and our pets and friends and family that love us. I love my job and what I do- I love helping people. Every day is a balancing act and many days I'm always amazed I get done what I need to. I drop the ball on things but try not to beat myself up over it. I do a pretty good job at that too. I try not to stress about money or things too outside of my control. I'm not always great at that.
I have been carrying a lot of the extra child/house load while my husband finishes his PhD, and I kind of hit small wall with that this week. I act like an ant with taking on things, especially if I know it's temporary. Once again reminded I don't need to do it all, I have people that want to support me! I get into a headspace where I feel bad for asking, but am always learning that it's up to the other person to tell me what their limits are, I shouldn't assume.
July is bookended with vacations for me, both of which give me the opportunity to swim in large bodies of water which is my favorite activity in the world, so I am excited and full of energy!!

There are SO many great series out here these days, and this isnโt anything new or groundbreaking, but Iโve been watching Adventure Time since I was a little kid- I have watched it in full dozens of times at least.
Iโm amazed every viewing at how I am able to understand new profound themes along with new levels of silliness.
The creator is basically a genius and I think itโs one of the most beautiful and underrated cartoons everrrrr

Iโve been obsessed with this app that identifies birdies based on their calls and songs!
Itโs incredible how many different birds are in my yard at different times of day.
Iโm so excited to use it while traveling too๐
