The best way I've found to live a happy life is to actually do things that make me happy. Seems simple, right? Sometimes it can take awhile, though, to figure out what makes you feel true joy. Luckily for me, one of the things that makes me feel the most joy has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
A considerable part of my own happiness comes from cultivating and sharing my talents. I started playing the piano when I was very young and have always loved to perform. My main focus is accompanying for choirs. I love the feeling of contributing an important aspect to a performance while also being part of a group dynamic. It makes me feel unified with the choir members and the director, grateful for the audience's appreciation of our music, and good about myself.
Everyone has a special talent to develop and I feel that it's important to find your own little niche in the world. It's so great to have something that you know you're good at which can serve as a go-to happy place. Just get out there and do your own happy dance...or song...or sport...or cooking...or writing.....or whatever it may be. Just be undeniably you!

Singles' Awareness Day
I'm a forty-year-old woman who has never been married. I'm also a Mormon, and in a culture very focused on marriage and children, I've seen too many single women become bitter, jaded, or just generally unhappy with their lot in life. This first post is just a little intro, and I thought Valentine's Day would be a perfect time to start a blog about being happy in singlehood! In future posts, I plan to share some stories and tips about how I've been able to avoid the unhappiness trap and find joy in my own life.
