Happy

In these very difficult times, I wanted to write something positive, happy. Initially, it was difficult finding a place to start. Then, I realized, again, I can’t control everything around me. I only had control over myself, and it was up to me to be happy. This opened the “Happy” door for me.

I was grateful I woke up again this morning, which was later morning because of the time change to DST. This made me laugh. I thought about all the good things I enjoy…decent health, my wonderful family and friends and all the good memories I had and all the good memories to come. I thought about my love of music and words. This brings me sustained hope and joy. I was grateful for what I had…a warm place to live, food on the table, and some household technology. I don’t have a lot of money. Sure, I would like a little bit more, but, it’s all good.   

Ultimately, I felt happy and could express this sentiment in spite of such dark days around the world. I know it can be hard, but, look inside for your happiness. You can’t control the world around you, but, you can control yourself, and that’s where happiness lives.
