I&#8217;m going to try to have a daily post on something that makes me happy, or that I am grateful for, or that is good in my life. (Once school gets up and running next week, we might want to shoot for 4-5 times a week&#8230;) I have been struggling a lot with my happiness level for several reasons, many of which are fairly personal and probably shouldn&#8217;t be known to all the world at this point in time. And to help balance that out, I want to focus on the good things, because I know that I have so many wonderful things in my life that I need to focus on and be grateful for.<\/p>\n<p>So, without much more ado, here is my first happy thing post.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.elisabethboothe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/IMG_0095.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-342\" title=\"Summer 2011 Hair\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elisabethboothe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/93464269d3113b6aef44a8fbc21f0a91.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" imagescaler=\"http:\/\/www.elisabethboothe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/93464269d3113b6aef44a8fbc21f0a91.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>(Sorry if it&#8217;s a little blurry- it&#8217;s hard to take a picture of yourself!)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I finally got my hair done!
