Hello May

Hello May

Thursday, 4 May 2017

     Hello out there! I hope the first week of May has been as good for you as it has been for me.

I've been especially busy this past month. Aside from blogging and general life, I've been preoccupied with my new puppy. I adopted an adorable Chihuahua last week, and so far, he's been keeping me exhausted and happy.

Despite my hectic schedule, I have a list of goals to accomplish for May. I find it really helpful to set new goals at the beginning of each month. I'm constantly making lists and notes on my phone of things I want or need to do. I've decided that at the beginning of each month, I will share my goals on Jackie O My! Goals are so much more enjoyable when you share them! I'd love to hear yours in the comments as well.

Why It's Okay To Be Upset Over Little Things

Why It's Okay To Be Upset Over Little Things

     For the past week, I've been stuck in a bad mood rut. Usually, I breeze right by minor setbacks, taking them in stride. Now, they're hitting me hard, leaving me grumpy and unsure what I'm even so upset about. I'm a big believer in the power of positivity, so I figured I could just will my bad feelings away, or at least squash them down until they disappeared on their own. Unfortunately, bad feelings will come out, no matter how hard you try to hold them in, and sometimes at inconvenient times.

     Hello, and happy Monday! I hope your Easter weekend was as relaxing and stress-free as mine.

I've been loving the change from winter to spring. The sun has been peeking through the clouds more and more, and I've been spending my time taking long walks in the grass and happily reading good books at Starbucks.

It's so refreshing to finally shed my winter boots and jacket for sandals and pastel colors. I just bought this sweater from Aerie, and I believe it's my new favorite. The material is so soft! Try as I did, I couldn't get the words on the front, "Hello Sunshine", to show up in these pictures. Still, it perfectly captures my frame of mind today. Bring on the sun!
