Happy Place

I'm always on twitter...today I found Things To Be Happy About while I was on it.

I'm happy someone is posting daily things to be happy about - there's always something for us to embrace and be thankful for, and those things should bring us happiness.

As for me, before my feet hit the floor in the morning I'm thanking God for blessing me with another day, thankful for friends, family, health, shelter, food - for a body that functions and a mind that works. Being blessed with these things that are often taken for granted create happiness for me.                                                                


I believe everyone has happiness and should find their happy. I personally don't think what makes people happy is based on material items or success. I feel it's your outlook on life, faith, and the quality of your relationships with the people that you have in your life. I also know that no one person is happy all of the time. I have my days when a memory hits that makes me begin to spiral down hill and getting out of bed a challenge. But it's my faith that gives me the strength to have a glimpse of my sadness, but gets me back to my happy place.                                                                                                                                                             


I learned at a very young age that you can't expect other people to create your happiness - you need to do that on your own. So find your happy and embrace it, reflect on it, meditate with it, and own it. We all deserve to be happy.

Lies and Secrets

I don't want to say that I work really hard to be a good person, because that would imply that's not the true essence of who I am. The way I live my life is simple - honesty, loyalty, trust, and prayer. If you live your life based on lies, I don't trust anything that you say or do. It's a personal thing. When you grow up in an environment based on secrets and lies, you value and respect honesty. I had the honesty conversation with one of my granddaughters last night when my grandson blurted out some things that are going on in their home. Immediately my granddaughter reprimanded him stating that they're not suppose to tell people their parents business. I'm not going to lie, when she said that to him, the flashbacks started coming. I calmly explained to her that adults should never ask children to keep their secrets or lies, and if they live in fear of their business being told, maybe they should be living their life right, because I'm good with people
