A Happiness Imperative


It is imperative that I feel happy.

Not giggly.

But positive.

There are too many things that can drag a person down.

So, I choose being happy and I am learning how to create happiness for myself from within.

I have an unlimited source of ideas and thoughts.

I can choose which ones I include in my day.

I can choose the attitude that I face situations with.

During one day when nothing much was happening, my husband and I drove down a country road at the end of the first day of school in that community.

We saw a couple of elementary school girls walking down the road, drinking sodas, an after school treat, I imagine.

I was able to enjoy their smiles as they walked by and waved.

Instead of saying that I am coming back into familiar situations, I am now referring to this as moving forward into them.

That is changing how I approach a return.

It is a forward move.

That is allowing all kinds of new actions to be taken.

It is creating a fresh approach.

This is happiness.

A fresh approach and moving forward.

It is a good way to think about things.
