I wonder...

Recently, I have become smarter. Way smarter. Thank you dear boyfriend. I am slowly learning to listen to people and learn from other people’s success and failures, as per advice. Before, I used to attempt everything on my own. Never seeking advice or asking for help. Never considering that there were those that have come before me and have walked the path that I have yet to walk.

I started to wonder if I could make my troubles easier, if I could share in the moment with others. I started to search. I started to wonder. And then I had a Eureka… that’s right just like Archimedes, I jumped out of my bath… but instead of having an epiphany about volume and water displacement, I had one about happiness. I understood that I needed to research happiness and what it meant in order to find my own perfect happiness. As soon as I discovered this, strange and wondrous things started to happen. My mission started to follow me around. I discovered the book Project Happiness by Gretchen Rubin and her Website (http://www.happiness-project.com// ). I have placed it on my ‘To read list’ this year. I follow her website like there is no tomorrow. I have also discovered a wonderful blog that I just love to read on a daily basis called 1000 Awesome Things ( http://1000awesomethings.com/ ) by Neil Pasricha. For everyday he picks a tiny awesome moment like dropping your cell phone on the sidewalk and then realizing it’s totally fine or napping with someone, or finding money in your pocket and just letting us feel that great awesome feeling with that comes with it. And guess what? He’s got a book that came out this month. I cannot wait to read it. And then get my friends hooked on it. I always like those tiny details in life but this actually forces me to acknowledge that I am not the only one going through this wonderful world. It makes me feel grateful that I am alive. It makes me see my world more positively. And the more positive that I am, the happier I make other people around me. This in turn provides more positive and happy feelings until I just feel like it’s one happy loop. My mood improves. I pick less fights and I am a lot more productive. I feel like I accomplish more. My life just becomes fuller to the extent that I feel the need to share my new found super powers with everyone and anyone that I come in contact with. I have learned to bring my Sunshine Everywhere.
