i'm back with the summer lovin' link-up, where i am making it a habit to share moments i've loved this summer with you, and where i hope you will share them with me!
shout-out to aimee linking up with me last week! i'm not a super whiz at link-up/social media/life promotion, and likely never will be, but reading her post just brought me joy despite the fact that she was the only one to link up.
this week's summer lovin' moment is not unlike many videos of people you've seen dancing to pharrell's phenom "happy." to be completely honest, i hated the song at first, but it has started to grow on me.
what does make this one different is that my mom is in this one, which she sent to me last week:
she's the cute one with the sweet moves in the mailroom.
what i've found absolutely lovely in this is that besides the fact that there are some moments of awkwardness or showboating is that i've gathered a new sense of strength.
based upon countless stories of coworkers, there seem to be very few people that are actually happy at the school where my mom works. but what i love most is that they've adopted an attitude of "my job sucks, but i can still be happy" and/or one that says "i'm not truly all that happy, but i'm willing to participate in an activity that can make myself and others happier."
i spent so much of my first year at my school focusing on how unhappy i was and how quickly i could detach myself from my workplace. this year, i vowed to try and make things better for myself and for everyone around me by taking opportunities to make myself happier. it's nice to know that we're all in good company.
