Quote of the Day - Happiness

"Happiness is not the destination, it's the journey." - Various

 Many people have said this, but it does bear repeating, in the midst of everything.  We don't ever really know what the destination is in life - we may think we know, but we don't - it changes on us, we change it. So it's really about the taking time along the way, every day to be happy.  A friend of mine mentioned that everyday she takes the time to write down what's she thankful for and instantly she feels better.  I was compelled to try it myself, after a particularly bad day.  Some of the things that made my list:

I was happy my son's fall down the stairs resulted in nothing more than a few tears

I was happy my children were healthy.

I was happy to be able to have a quiet late night dinner with my husband

I was happy to live in my house

I was happy for the opportunities that await me out there

The list went on, but even now as I write those things, I feel better about my day already - just remembering some of the things I should be grateful for.

So - have a happy day...
