I really like this Pool Party cotton poplin print by Heather Ross for Munki Munki. With the long memorial day weekend approaching, do you have any pool parties or events to attend? Cookouts? It's been raining and flooding so much here for the past 7 days that we nearly have our own pool behind our house... But, I decided to turn all this rain into a positive by writing more, working on some designs, further developing my business, exercising harder and longer at the gym, and spending lots of time on organizing my home. Plus, I spent 3 days with one of my closest friends and we had an absolute blast. Being stuck indoors has actually been a good thing for me.

Don't you think that's the key to true happiness? The ability to have control over your emotions and decide how you will let something that appears negative, to affect you in a positive sense? Vital!
