A Happiness Blog Hop: Contemplate the Heavens

Welcome to the September Happiness Blog Hop! You should have arrived from Melissa’s Blog. This month’s theme is contemplate the heavens based on based on Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun.


I opted to create a layout of myself as a baby with a list of some of my childhood dreams and how I have or have not accomplished those dreams. This was definitely a challenge. I don’t do layouts like this. My childhood photos are all scrapbooked and I tossed most of the rest. I don’t really do layouts about things that are vastly different from the photo. I normally would have just done a layout with this photo and a caption like “three-months-old.” Pretty basic. I am glad I made my list of childhood dreams because I realized that I have accomplished several of them. Others might not be accomplished, but that’s because I’ve changed and those are no longer my dreams. What would you include on a layout of your childhood dreams? Comment below or join the conversation on facebook or twitter.
