Decorating with Your Graduation Attire

*Please note: this article has been imported from my previous blog, Organized Magnolia*

At college graduations, sometimes it makes sense to decorate your cap. And let me say, my parents new exactly where I was during my graduation ceremony. Even the graduates sitting next to me kept telling their parents "I'm next to the girl with the pink hat!".

After all of that hard work, I wanted to make sure the rest of the world got to see it. I found this shadowbox at Michael's, and now, I have this setup! I tossed my graduation cord in there too. So what do you think? It looks great next to my Grandfather's stitched Georgia Tech logo from when he was their in the fifties.

How To Create A Happiness Jar

I have made a promise to myself to become a happier person. To put aside my tendencies to be jealous, spiteful, and extremely sad. To start thinking about the happiness in my life, I have started a happiness jar. For 365 days, I will write a note about something that made me happy each and every day. Whether it is large, small, silly or personal, I vow to write a note each and every day about something that made me happy that day. Then on New Year's Eve, I will sit and go through every note to remember the good times.

I believe this will help me have a more positive attitude and just be positive about life. It gives me a moment to reflect about my day and find the happiness, even in the worst of days.

Have a happy day!
