About Me: Suzy




An East-Coaster bewildered that I ended up in the Midwest post-graduation. More bewildered that I've come to love it.

June Goals: Upping the Joy Factor

1. Finish planning THE OUTWEST ROADTRIP (more on this later)
2. Complete 3 weeks of training for a 5K
3. Fully Fund my ING Savings accounts to help build toward sidebar goal #2
4. Bring more joy into my life...

I was at a wedding last week on Martha’s Vineyard, and I was so overcome with the consistency at which this one attribute was cited in the couple’s life and home. To talk over and over about joy, levity, and laughter, as opposed to love, at one of these affairs, seemed much more to the point. I want that to be said about me some day, and I hope I can bring more joy into others’ lives. To help remind myself of all of the little joys I am going to try to read the principles of positive psychology once daily, meditate more on scripture, and get little moments of writing in – even if it’s not about remedying the novel – but just for the joy of it!
