Happy SMART Day!

After some thought I have decided to start every post on this blog in a way that reminds me–and any of you who might be reading along–that our goal is to live SMART 365.  In other words “Happy SMART Day!”  That means that every day we strive to live 1) Sustainably 2) Meaningful 3) Artfully 4) Responsibly, and  5) Thankfully.  The combination of these qualities/actions will go a long way towards helping us to create not only a happy life, but a life that is helpful and good for everyone we touch. Obviously each category is a huge topic on its own, that’s why following posts will attempt to offer clarifications, ideas and suggestions about how we can introduce each of them into our lives.  One of the best parts about them is that there is lots of room for individual interpretation so that my “SMART Living” could effectively look very different from your “SMART Living.”  Yet at the same time we could both be living our very best life and helping to create a world that works for everyone else too.  Meanwhile, please feel free to post comments and questions as we go along.  I have never considered myself an expert about this or any other topic, but as a curious seeker I strive to make a habit of following paths that continually open doors and challenge me to reach higher than ever before.  So join us and let’s get started with SMART Living 365!
