HAPPY adjective
1.) Feeling or showing pleasure, contentment or joy. 2.) causing or characterized by pleasure, contentment or joy.
Almost daily, I am asked how I stay so happy all the time...The truth is that I choose to be happy each and every moment that I am...that's it...my sentence is finished...I choose to be happy each and every moment that I am. Like everyone, I also experience pain, sadness and disappointments- yet, I always trust in God's timing...not what I think should happen right now and I try not to give into my impatience.
Today one of my best friend's, Amy, called me at the last minute and asked if I could go to lunch- so I left even though I was busy at work and met her at Claim Jumper. We had such a great time and laughed so much. The funny thing was that we split ribs, grilled veggies & salad- talking and laughing the whole time- and at one point I just said, "I love you so much and I love that we can eat ribs and get messy and laugh with junk in our teeth!" Just as I said that statement- 2 gorgeous men walked by- extremely tall- and we both just giggled! (Amy is happily married to Eric-an awesome dude- but it never hurts to look and tell God that He did a good job!) A split second later, one of the men comes back to our table and looks me square in the face and says, "Hey- don't I know you?" My sense of humor and all I responded, "Well if I don't know you...I sure wish I did." We all laughed but as it turned out, he is one of my friends husbands! I wouldn't have recognized him but he sees our Christmas picture each year and knew right away it was me! After he left, I said to Amy, "Geez- go ahead and tell me how much BBQ sauce I have on my face!" My point is...it is so good to be happy and laugh and not worry about what other people are thinking. When you exude happiness, somebody will wish they were in your shoes! (especially if they are pretty shoes!)
"One is happy as a result of one's own efforts, once one knows the necessary ingredients of happiness- simple tastes, a certain degree of courage, self denial to a point and love- Happiness is no vague dream, of that I now feel certain."
George Sand
