happy

have you ever thought about what makes you happy? i mean, truly happy? not too long ago, i got to see the happy documentary and it really made me give it some serious thought. the documentary, if you haven't seen it, follows several people in different cultures, countries, etc to see what makes them happy. it was really interesting to see that across the board, people have the same ideas about what makes them feel good about who they are. funny how that works isn't it? how a man in india living in the slums has the same ideas about what makes him happy as a businessperson in tokyo or an elderly woman in the states.

it completely opened my eyes to what we share as people and made me think about what makes me happy...so i thought i would share...

connecting with your community - T and i like to donate food, clothes or various items to big brothers big sisters, participate in causes within our area and supporting the local guys.

keeping relationships with people you care about - spending time with family whether it be for holidays, birthdays, vacations or just because, hands down puts a smile on my face. getting out and about to explore new things with T or the pups or sometimes, getting together with friends is the best boost to help recharge and reconnect.

taking care of oneself - i recently started running outside as a way to kick up my exercise routine and i've noticed how much better i feel afterwards. plus it is such a great way to see the changing flowers and trees.

..now if i can start to work on decluttering our kitchen.
