I heard someone say yesterday (on the radio) that "happiness is over-rated, and all the stuff about striving for happiness is a bunch of bunk"......in some ways I agree. Do you ever find yourself wondering "when will I finally be happy?", or "when such and such happens - then I'll be happy!" A good friend said to me once "happiness isn't something you experience, it is something you remember"...... As life speeds by, so does our happiness. Life is about adapting to the situation with which you are faced, accepting (or changing), and moving forward to the next challenge. Don't waste precious time wondering where your happiness is hiding - it is right in front of you - you just don't recognize it.
Tip for the day: Walk outside in a safe area (or on your treadmill) for 10 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of Yoga. Plan your entire meal plan for the day and stick to it. Be introspective and true to yourself. Give your family some room to be themselves - quit bugging them and you'll get their attention. Be a good listener and people will listen back.
