I’ll share something new that I did this week, I went to lunch with a new friend.

I came home and thought about what makes me happy. Meeting people, and listening to their stories is what I love. Less about me, more about others. I remembered this post, with 10 Rules for a Great Conversationalist – great tips! :)

Living an authentic life & chicken soup

I wish I could have brought a bowl of this hot Slow Cooker White Bean Basil Chicken Soup for us to share, but instead we went out for a bowl of soup.

I wrote this down in my journal this morning, that living an authentic life means venturing out of the mundane. Yes, I work at home, and can get caught up in my own little world with my online blog friends. Experiencing the true moments of happiness for me though is usually when I’m with other people.

It’s when I savor the small things, lunch or breakfast with a friend, a phone call or email to an old friend, or finding a new recipe to try. Oe that is easy, tasty, and one my family will love (like this Chicken Soup).

I also love buying myself flowers from the grocery store, and coming home to arrange them in my favorite Mackenzie-Childs vessel.

Move the flowers around until they look just right, and then I set them in a place where I can enjoy them throughout the day.

What’s something new you can try, or venture out to, or truly enjoy this new year? It may involve people, or not.

For me, I’m always happier after I’ve spent time with others, and hear their stories.
