Hello, Dears.
Do you ever feel unhappy? We all do at one time or another, don't we?
One thing that I get a lot of comments on is that I "seem like such a happy person". I was talking to a friend the other day about how misery loves company and I know there are people out there that generally, don't really trust a happy person. There are a lot of people that think that if you seem like you're always happy, then you surely must be hiding something because no one can be happy all the time, right?
Let me be the first to tell you that I am not always happy! You can ask my husband. Or my mother. Or my best friends. Or my sisters. (Sisters will always tell it like it is!) :) There are always things that happen in my every day life that frustrate me or make me angry or hurt my feelings. But it's in those moments that I can CHOOSE to be angry or frustrated or hurt or I can choose to be happy, and I try really hard to choose happy as often as possible. I don't always succeed. Sometimes in those moments, I just get mad or I throw a big fat fit and then realize that I could have handled that totally differently. Perhaps even without the big fat fit. ;)
Happiness is a choice. I choose to be happy because I want to FEEL happy. I choose to be happy so that those around me don't have to spend time with a grump. Haha! I choose to write about happy things here at the blog-o because why would you want to hang around here otherwise?! This is supposed to be a place where you can pop in for a visit and feel uplifted when you leave! I would love it if you always left my home here on the internet, with a smile on your face. When you leave your time with me, I hope that you feel happy too!
I'm happy to be happy! What about you?
P.S. The photo above, is one I snapped on my iPhone of one of our hyacinth blooms. They didn't do so well this year....we had a hard winter and I think a lot of them must have frozen. But how pretty is this one?! :)
