“Happiness is not something you chase, happiness is something you choose.” – Aggie Lim
“When I was 5 years old my mum always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy”. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life.” – Anonymous
I’m a kid at heart and I love to do things that make me happy and be around happy people. The two words that would describe me best are playfully curious.
Hi I’m Aggie,
I’m a sketcher, an explorer , a writer and a retired psychologist but really I’m a life enthusiast!
I’ve tried to pigeon hole myself into a category and realised that I just can’t do that.
I’m enthusiastic and curious about anything and everything!
All aspects of life intrigue, fascinate and interest me; food, travel, fitness, wellness, writing, story telling, people, cultures, rock climbing and sketching.
DrawntoExplore is about exploring, discovering, and experiencing life and the world around me through my inspirations, my explorations and discoveries, my writings, my sketches, my ponderings, and my journey through life. My mission is to inspire and help others to make more time to do more of what makes them happy on a daily basis, and to embrace the everyday-ness.
Love what you do, do what you love, embrace life……and be grateful everyday!
“When you are happy, you are healthy, it’s a choice
So, why not choose to be happy everyday?!”
Do happy things!
Aggie

Hi Aggie!
I was looking for some inspiring books at the Barnes & Noble website when, through some browsing, I stumbled upon your blog! Thank you for your candid, inspiring blog!
I agree that happiness is a choice. In my day-to-day experience, I’ve found that in order to remain happy, I must tune out the negativity that surrounds me at work. It’s a struggle most times, but the children I work with inspire me to put my best foot forward!
Happy New Year!
Awilda
P.S. I’m a smoothie fan! I tried and love your spinach smoothie!
Hi Awilda!
Happy New Year!!!
It’s lovely to hear from you and thank you for your kind words 🙂
It’s great that you’re able to tune out the negativity at work, especially when you are surrounded by it everyday. That in itself is very challenging but being able to do that is an achievement. Children are wonderful because they are so in the moment and present. I’ve learnt a lot from having my own child….and my dog too! Complete unconditional love 🙂
Glad you love the spinach smoothie, I’ve been trying different combinations that I’ll have to share that are yummier!
Thank you for connecting Awilda 🙂
Hugs
Aggie 🙂
Hi Abby. Your website is great. I am intrigued by the “urban sketching” and wondered if I might join your group at your next meeting at Fremantle?
I have been sketching with a friend on a fortnightly basis for some months and enjoy it so much. I think we are improving!
I am glad to receive your emails and wish you well for the new year.
