The Art of Happy-Ness

Happiness truly is homemade. We have to look inward to find happiness. It doesn't come from others, or from things. It comes from within.

There are many things I can do to initiate happy feelings:

Pet my dogs.

Walk in the sunshine.

Spend time with a good friend.

See the ocean again.

Marvel at a sunrise, or sunset.

Watch the stars twinkling in the sky.

Read a book.

Watch a movie that I love.

Decorate my house for Christmas.

Call my children.

Bake cookies.

Spend quiet time, meditating on what is important to me. And what is not.

Give myself permission to play hookey from my responsibilities.

At least, for a little while.....
