I heard on the news last night, Arkansas was ranked 46 out of the 50 states where people were the least happy. Really? Happiness is a choice, it's not by chance. If your happiness is dependent on your circumstances, then your life will crash as often as a wave hits the shore.
'Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one remembers to turn the Light on.' The peace of God will sustain you. As I wind up my third week of being sick, I could be bitter or better for this down time. I choose better and that starts with the quality of my thoughts.
If you're not happy, look within. Then look above and count your blessings. Lastly, help yourself by helping someone else be happy.
I love your attitude during this down time, hope you get better soon. Kohl's is missing you.

Loved our visit today - so much laughter! You are always so upbeat. Besides, you know it could be worse, right? You could have an ear infection adn I could be the one administering your medicine... ha!
ReplyDelete"The joy of the Lord is our strength," and your joy is contagious. That's one of the MANY reasons I love having you as my dear and precious friend. Thank you, as always, for the uplifting word of encouragement.
ReplyDeleteWOW....I am really shocked. Can't believe Arkansas ranks so low in happiness. Absolutely love your solution to the problem and your outlook. So sorry you have been sick for so long, but I truly cannot imagine anyone who would "deal" with it as beautifully as you have. Still praying for your full and complete recovery. If we just look around us, we can always find something to be happy about....YOU make me happy. Love you, sweet friend....T.
