Today’s Happiness

Happiness is an attitude. It's a gift of choice that we give to ourselves. How can you do this? How is this possible? First you must recognize that you are the only person in the world responsible for your own happiness. There is no other anywhere on this planet that can make you happy. Second, you must recognize the things that happen every day that are things to be happy about. Sometimes it would be something obvious like spending time with a good friend, or seeing the sun shine after a week of rain. Other times it won't be so obvious. The main point is that you are responsible for your own happiness and every day there are many things to be happy about.

These are things that made me happy today.

  • My yoga practice this morning. For the energy and good things it does for my body
  • Bacon for breakfast
  • Meeting my friend Meghan in the park and taking a hike up to the reservoir.
  • Talking to my friend Rich (Meghan's boyfriend) about IRONMAN.
  • Getting a friend request from Heide on Myspace
  • The chance of hearing news about my ex
  • Fresh juicy organic peaches from Ashland's Food Co-Op
  • The Tango community in Ashland
  • Getting home before the rain begins

When we look we can find many many things to be happy about. Look into your life and find your happiness every day.

  1. The bacon sounds good. Tomorrow morning, jueves, Jo and I B.E.G. for breakfast each week. Once a week I cook beacon, eggs, and grits for each of us. I usually give her a break and do the dishes too. Can’t wait. B.E.G for breakfast usually makes both of us happy.
    You get lots of rain up there, don’t you?

  2. Hi Philip :)
    This is very Buddhist, the idea of making happiness for yourself, also the other section on happy feet… i am reading a book where this guy (Buddhist) kisses his shoes before his morning run everyday. He gets such thrills out of his morning run, i wonder if we are all searching for those releases of endorphins… love, running, flogging, making love, etc. ;) i found that meditation seems to take the edge off… but is there a happy medium (pardon the pun) to releasing endorphins and meditation? Just curious.
    Big Hugs,
    i miss YOU!!!
