How I did it
How to be happy
It took me
20 years
It made me

How I did it: I've realized that a lot is perspective and how I choose to allow things to affect me.  Choosing to focus on the positive (no matter how insignificant) makes a huge difference on whether or not I am happy.  Takes a lot of practice to feel happy on a consistent basis and I have to choose each day whether I want to be happy or not.

How to be more physically active
It took me
3 years
It made me

How I did it: Just to get up and do it. Worked with an Occupational Therapist to help me set the goals and keep me motivated to accomplish them.  Starting off small and building...it's unrealistic to be able to walk an hour if you don't typically even get up from in front of the computer most days.  Start with 5-10 minutes 3 days a week and build from there.  Read how I did it…

Volunteer
hmmm 1 month ago

This one is turning out to be way more challenging than it should be. I’ve put in applications various places over the years never to be accepted. However, I am being persistent and am looking into volunteering at another place. Will try to get an application in this week.

I am moved into my new place and loving it. I am sharing a 2 bedroom apartment with a friend and while not totally unpacked yet and the fact things like furniture need to be worked out I am already feeling a whole ton more at home here then I did crammed into a room. This feels like home :) and I am HAPPY!
