Happiness is found in moments in life. It is not a state of being. Happiness is slow dancing with someone you love, cocktails with friends, tongue kissing, a patch of sunshine on your lunch break, a cup of tea, a hug, snuggling with your children and listening to your favourite song.
I came across a great quote "Happiness is something you decide ahead of time". Thus pertaining that happiness depends on how you arrange your mind. I chose to align my mind with my heart; full of compassion and honest happiness.
My life is not perfect. No one's is. I don't live with my children; my Dad is terminally ill; I don't have secure employment; I struggle to pay my bills; I am financially overcommitted for the next twelve years; my mum is heartbroken... The list goes on. We all have shit to deal with. Some more than others but no one is immune.
I will not fake happiness though. Someone told me recently that I have a nice smile and that I should smile more often. My smiles are precious jewels; you need to earn them. I will not give them away lightly and I will not pretend to be happy when I am sadder than I ever have been.
