I heard about a man, who recently left his family, stating that he wanted a divorce, he was not happy. He left a young beautiful family. Which caused me to stop and ponder what happiness is all about? It quite possibly means one thing to me and a totally different thing to someone else. Happiness according to Webster is a definition on paper, but in real life, happiness is less about how I feel but who I am.
So, life goes on, and not everything that happens is good, fair or right, it just is. My suggestions to someone struggling with not being happy is to think of what kind of life they want to live and then begin to create that life on the inside.
Happiness is a journey someone once said and I tend to agree that it is a way of living. I link happiness and gratitude together. It is never about having everything right in my world, but that in my world with struggles and difficulties, I can find happiness within.
So the real issue for me is to put the focus on my faith in God, live the best I can each day and find real happiness in even the smallest of ways.
My theme is – Love all, in all, through all.

Today is special in our house, the family is here for Christmas and I feel the love in the air. Well, not all love, some of the thoughts are more like, hunger, tired and togetherness. We don’t get together every Christmas because of the distance and busy lives.
When deciding on the Christmas meal, everyone had a chance to put in what they wanted to eat, their favorite food. So for brunch today, we are having tacos. That’s right a Taco Christmas. We are a different family, quite untraditional and opinionated.
The thing about today that is special for me would be the togetherness. We have a small house and with everyone all cramed in one room it is amazing that we feel the love.
This is my first blog and it possibly isn’t going as easy as I had imagined, but with time and lots of thoughts to share this will get better. I am excited to be writing and feel the gratitude for another day and a way to live with peace.
My theme is Love all, In all, through all.
