someone once said,

 “The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have.”

And that’s what most of us are trying to do, right? Find happiness in this crazy little thing called life. What makes one happy? Truly and completely happy. I’m still trying to figure that out for myself, honestly. Everyday feels as if I’m starting from the beginning again. Maybe I don’t know what makes me happy. And maybe it’ll be awhile before I know for sure. There might be too many obstacles on the way to figuring things out. I might mess up. Plans will be changed. Things never work out the way our minds think they should, do they? I think we get so caught up in ourselves – and the plan that WE want or that we think we NEED. When really, Heavenly Father is all too knowing of us; of who we are and, most importantly, of who we are to become. He also knows what makes us happy. So maybe I need to just be. Just be more trusting in all that He is.
Lucky I have the most gorgeous ladies to be with me on this journey of mine. Especially when said gorgeous ladies take me places for free chocolate milkshakes. 

Be happy, friends. Whatever that might mean for you.

Happy Thursday.

here's to ...

Here’s to summer and barefoot afternoons.

To friends who pep talk your soul to better days.

For a lovely Father in Heaven who sees more than we understand.

For hard choices that will prepare us for only Heaven knows what.

Keep your light shining bright, friends.

Happy Sunday.

you did it once again, ingrid.

I don't tell anyone about the way you hold my hand
I don't tell anyone about the things that we have planned
I won't tell anybody, Won't tell anybody
They wanna push me down, they wanna see you fall down

I won't tell anybody that you turn the world around
I won't tell anybody that your voice is my favorite sound
I won't tell anybody, Won't tell anybody
They wanna see us fall, they wanna see us fall down

I don't need a parachute, baby if I've got you
Baby if I've got you, I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me, You're gonna catch if I fall (Down, down, down)

Don't believe the things you tell yourself so late at night
And, you are your own worst enemy, you'll never win the fight
Just hold onto me, I'll hold onto you
It's you and me up against the world, it's you and me

I don't believe anything, don't trust anyone but me
But I believe you when you say were never gonna fall
Hand behind my neck, arm around my waist
Never let me hit the ground, you'll never let me crash

I don't need a parachute, baby if I've got you
Baby if I've got you, I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me, You're gonna catch if I fall (Down, down, down)

I don't need a parachute, baby if I've got you
Baby if I've got you, I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me, You're gonna catch if I fall (Down, down, down)

I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I fall into you

I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I fall into you

I don't need a parachute, baby if I've got you
Baby if I've got you, I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me, You're gonna catch if I fall (Down, down, down)

I don't need a parachute, baby if I've got you
Baby if I've got you, I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me, You're gonna catch if I fall (Down, down, down)

I don't need a parachute, baby if I've got you
Baby if I've got you, I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me, You're gonna catch if I fall (Down, down, down)
