"What made me happy today?" is a question I asked myself each night. My answers did not vary a lot this week. My family made me happy. Watching my grandsons share a party with their friends made me happy. Watching the two year old help his one year old friend climb the step made me happy. Knowing that he already cares about and is so gentle with his friends made very happy for him and all the relationships that he will have over the years. The knowledge that this exercise in recognizing happiness is having an effect on how I think and feel makes me happy. Realizing that I am very content in what I am doing now makes me happy each day. So it was a good week filled with ordinary days, quiet moments, and time to spend with family and friends all which for me equals happiness and contentment.
