Today was a difficult day, systems just were not playing along and I really struggled to maintain my composure and my irritation levels were visible. With the "real world" being so tough most of us romantically search for magical happiness and joy and seldom find it.
I have heard it said that to fight poverty we must learn to live simply, so that others can simply live. How does that translate in our search for happiness? Can I challenge you today to simply think....What makes me smile?
Well for me there are many things that make me smile:
- A meow from my kitties when they are happy to see me
- The sounds of the birds chirping in the trees
- The smell of rain after a hot summers day
- When a gentleman holds open the door
- Finding solutions to life or work problems
- The sight of a friend
- The warmth of a hug
- The infuriating chase for a cat round the complex when they don't want to go to bed (Lol)
- Playing with any animals and the joy of watching them play (family time)
- When I turn the corner and I'm almost home
I really could go on and on, but if any of these made you smile, then know that you are well on your way to finding the source of your happiness and being able to hang onto it on difficult days.
