Happiness Is.........

It is time to reflect upon what made me happy this week.  I don't know if it was coincidence or not but I have had several conversations lately with good friends about happiness and/or the lack of happiness.  One of the things that comes up often in my conversations with women of all ages is the lack of time to take care of themselves or to do things that make them happy.  I really don't want to preach on this blog but I think it is hard to be happy if you never take care of yourself or do things that you would like to do.  Have I always done things to make myself happy?  No, I haven't.  But in reflecting this week, I realize that when I remember to take care of myself that I feel happier.  And let's face it - it is easier to take care of others when you feel good about yourself and your life.  So if you are feeling a little down why not reflect upon what you need to do to take care of yourself and your own happiness and then most importantly do it!  Pay attention to the things that make you happy each day and then be sure that you incorporate those things into your life on a daily basis. 

This week I realized that color plays an important role in my happiness.  Nature's natural colors are beautiful right now so I am making sure to notice and enjoy the trees, the flowers, the sky, and the sunshine.  I also want to add color to my clothes so I am buying things that are bright and make me feel young and cheerful.  Everywhere I go I pay special attention to the colors all around me and it makes me feel alive.  Something as simple as noticing color has brought me a great deal of joy and happiness this week, so I am adding color to the growing list of things that make me happy.

I have found that when we share what makes us happy everyone feels better.  So please take a minute to leave a comment and let everyone know what special moments (big or small) brought you happiness this week.

Ginny, You are so right. I know Clark is tired of me saying how beautiful the trees are, but they are and won't last forever. It makes the whole town look better.
I agree with everything you said and I have to remember to be thankful for all the great things I have in my life. Especially 3 great, writing girlfriends.

Being in nature and color also makes me happy. My sweet hubby bought me pink socks this week and that really made me happy!

Thank you so much for the wonderful post and comment on my blog. It was a great reminder to hear my own thoughts from someone else. It is hard to listen to yourself at time.
