It’s Monday sweet people, and it’s a beautiful day to be alive!

Dance party!

Yes, I really am THAT chipper on a Monday morning. I’m allowed having one small coffee a day – that is a HUGE reason to celebrate!

I have to say, my husband is a huge part of why I feel this awesome. He supports my craziness, he helps me emotionally, and he is just plain there for me.

Give me a hug!

My kids too – they are my world. I want to do so much for them and with them. This journey to health and happiness is so, so worth it!

Being weird together as a family is the best thing ever!

My biggest thing is remembering to take time for me. It’s the hardest thing in the world for me to do because, as I’ve said, my kids are my life. I’m not a sit in the tub and read kind of lady.

So not me…

I’m a gamer – my ‘me’ time is usually playing WoW or reading books. I love to go for walks and hope I can get back into that soon. Yoga could be me time too! Hmmm…

I often wonder how my husband puts up with me. Then he kisses me and I know…

Happiness

“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”  Albert Camus

Happiness.

Even the word has a certain expression of its own meaning.

Happiness. What joy is derived in the every day that makes happiness? We must choose to be happy, to be joyful, to be grateful.

Anger and hate are soul consuming destructive forces which many confuse for constructive reasoning.

When we are happy, when we let go of that negativity – we are truly free and alive. When we let go, we truly live.

I find as I age that I need to find happiness. The more I let go of the past and the derision of the present, the more happiness I am able to find. I do not turn a blind eye to the world around me. As I said earlier, I am roaring inside. But I am becoming more at peace with myself. I am finding ‘me’ and by extension I am finding happiness.
