Is Happiness Chasing You?

March 3, 2015 joyisachoice29
cute_little_bluebird_of_happiness_cartoon_bird_0515-1003-1906-0159_smu.jpg

My quote this morning was this:  Ever since happiness heard your name, it has been running through the streets trying to find you.  Hafiz  cute_little_bluebird_of_happiness_cartoon_bird_0515-1003-1906-0159_SMU I love that quote because it speaks so well what I learned many, many years ago and that is simply that happiness is completely in our control, our choice.  We decide our attitude everyday, we decide our guiding emotions...Did someone cut you off in traffic, did your coffee you spent $4.00 on taste terrible, was someone rude to you when you got to work?  All of these kinds of things can set you up for "well I guess this is how my day is going to go" syndrome.  We can choose to let those kinds of things dictate our attitude and joy (or lack thereof) the rest of the day or we can choose to realize that our very existence on this big blue ball is a miracle and all those little thing really do not merit wasting time being upset or mad.

I know I have no 'rewind' on my life or the precious moments I am given.  I would rather not let the petty moments, the little hiccups decide my day for me, and instead, choose to be that person that finds joy as much as I possibly can throughout my day and have people in my life feel my joy, my peace and thus, find some for themselves...that is my choice.  Happiness is not chasing me, it found me a long time ago.

I found these little gold see-through letters that are perfect for my @fortuneandframe locket. I think gratitude is the key to a fulfilling life. This came out a little tilted but it's still good. 😬 #fortuneandframe #gratitude #positivelife #positiv

Today's word for my @fortuneandframe locket is HEAL. My boyfriend goes in for surgery today and all my energy is focused on his speedy recovery. Heal is also something we need to do emotionally, from the trauma we are exposed to. Any trauma you are exposed to, whether it is your own or someone else's changes your world view forever. What you do with that trauma determines how much. #positivelife #positivevibes #positivemind #positivethinking #positivity #positiveenergy #love #positive #motivation #positivequotes #positivethoughts #positivemindset #goodvibes #life #positiveattitude #inspiration #selflove #positiveaffirmations #happiness #lifestyle #positivevibesonly #positiveliving #happy #positivelifestyle #staypositive #picoftheday #motivationalquotes #instagood #traumainformed

I know I'm obsessed with this necklace. I love interactive things, I especially love jewelry that has a message, that's changeable, that represents who I am on any given day. I also like reminders. It's hard to remember every good thing, every positive thing, but it's super easy to remember the negatives. 🙄 All my little messages for my @fortuneandframe necklace are positive and personal to me. I'm experimenting with little stick on letters and colored thin cardstock. How cute is this "YES"? Tomorrow, everything will be a yes, will be a success.... It's an important day so positivity is really important. #positivelife #positivevibes #positivemind #positivethinking #positivity #positiveenergy #love #positive #motivation #positivequotes #positivethoughts #positivemindset #goodvibes #life #positiveattitude #inspiration #selflove #positiveaffirmations #happiness #lifestyle #positivevibesonly #positiveliving #happy #positivelifestyle #staypositive #motivationalquotes #instagood

Today's word is TRUST! I've had issues with trust in my life, not only trusting others but trusting myself. I recently embarked on a new venture and I still don't trust my own capabilities and knowledge base. My boyfriend keeps grounding me and reminding me to trust myself and my abilities. Oh, and that is a @fortuneandframe necklace. You can put any little message in there that you want and carry it with you...remind yourself each day of a lesson, a gift, a person. I wear mine everyday and probably look at it dozens of times. Btw, I made the word TRUST purposely sketchy because sometimes, we can't always see the things we need to put trust in, sometimes that trust is just a leap of faith. ❤️
Done and on their way to Maine. I read that I was supposed to wrap the bread in foil. I didn't do that because I had visions of the box being scanned and them tearing it open because they couldn't see clearly what was in it. The loaves are wrapped in
Done and on their way to Maine. I read that I was supposed to wrap the bread in foil. I didn't do that because I had visions of the box being scanned and them tearing it open because they couldn't see clearly what was in it. The loaves are wrapped in a zillion layers of plastic wrap-sorry honey lol. I don't see my oldest daughter often. I miss her very much. She is very talented and bakes bread herself.
