Happiness

A day where I decided to take a road trip to see my kiddo.

A day where the sunroof was open,  

and the music a little too loud in the car.

A day where it felt like old times, just hanging out.

A day where we adventured on back gravel roads & 

sat under the biggest, oldest oak tree in Missouri.

A day where he fixed me a nice dinner, and we sat outside on the deck

talking about life.

A day where things were simple, and nothing was planned,

which made me ridiculously blissful.

A day where I decided it's time to lighten up, stress less, live more,

and just be happy.

A day where I noticed everything that was going right.

A few nuggets from my journal...

Relax & be yourself.

Open your heart to everyone.

Refuse to worry about anything.

Don't close in on a problem.

Don't be afraid to surrender.

Exhibit the highest level of faith.

Don't try to control the situation.

Do your best. Learn & grown from your

mistakes.

Learn to love people instead of being right.

When you feel lack, it is because you

are not connecting with God at a deep level.

Quit letting fear call the shots.

Fear will rob you of your life.

Surround yourself with positive voices.

We will become what we spend the greatest amount

of time looking for.

Set your sights on hope & joy.

You know you are chasing the right things with your time

because they will be lasting and loving.

Open your heart, relax your mind &

breathe.

"I know that there is nothing better for people 

than to be happy & do good while they live.

~Ecclesiastes 3:12~

Be gentle with yourself.

Learn to live, enjoy your life,

& handle situations as they come.

Do not doubt your worth.

Your life is important.

You have an essential function in the universe.

Only you can do the job of being you.

'Your highest function is simply to be the person

you are capable of being,

and from that effort- the development of

your kindness & positivity

your vulnerability & availability to life,

your calling will emerge.'

Allow yourself to see the deeper truths.

God's love isn't as complicated as our

discussions about it are. 

Keep it simple: love everybody, always.

'Don't believe the people who tell you there is no hope.

It's everywhere.

It's like the smell in the air right after the rain comes.'

Focusing on your pain can make it stronger.

What you focus on is what you will feel.

What you keep your mind staid on 

is what will drive you.

"When the heart is at ease, 

the body is healthy."

Be happy & do good.

be well...
