Do Something That Makes You Happy - A Happy Adventure

Life is too short to not find happiness. I do mean find. Only you can determine your happiness, you can't rely on someone to provide it. That is not to say, others can't make you happy. But you also need to find happiness in what you do. Why? Well, it makes life better, things seem to go smoother, and who wants to be miserable?

Recently, hubs and I got in the Jeep and he surprised me with a trip to the boardwalk (its maybe 15 mins away from the house). We had a wonderful time walking through the carnival area and listening to the kids scream on the rides. The sound of pure joy and terror!

  We then strolled down to Britt's Donuts. I normally am not a donut person, but this is the 2nd best donut place in the whole United States! It seems to get better each year.

From there, we went to the boardwalk itself and sat on a swing and just watched and listened to the ocean. The peace that came with just sitting there with my head on hub's shoulder just calmed me. I just felt truly happy for everything that I have in my life. And why not? If we look for the good, the beautiful, the perfectly imperfect, we will find what we are looking for!

We walked the boardwalk a little to see how it came out since they just redid it. Even got to see the sea turtle patrol vehicle drive by doing rounds on our turtle nests (I will have some of those adventures this year too).

No trip to the boardwalk is complete unless we are silly (another thing that makes me happy). We found cut outs and a surfboard with a wave backdrop. YES! We got to play
with them.
