there are so many things i could say on this topic. i could talk your ear off about being happy, and choosing happiness, and being your best, most happy self. its something i feel really passionate about. which is why i was so happy to find that someone else i find hilarious also knows the importance of being happy with yourself. so go read this. and this too. you won't regret it. actually, you might regret not reading it. talk about having choices, huh? and do you know what makes me happy? i mean, of course you do. i don't know how many happy lists i've blogged. i can't tell you how many times i've been nearly bursting with happiness about what i'm blogging on. in general, i'd say my readers have a pretty good idea of what makes me happy. [my readers.. all 60 of you.. who do i think i am?] but do you know what makes me happy to be me? do you even want to know? no? ohh.. thats too bad, because i'm about to tell you. because really, i need to remind myself sometimes. and i like to be able to look back on posts like this. so.. here it is. what makes me happy to be me? i'll tell you.
i am the happiest when i am an active person.
whether that means playing catch for an hour, taking a long walk, or insane workouts, i am absolutely the happiest when i can look in the mirror and like what i see. when i can feel the muscles sore the next day? thats a really huge high for me. sure i might complain about it.. but i'm always so proud of myself for doing it the next day.
i am the happiest when i am taking care of myself.
washing my face, flossing my teeth, putting on lotion, fixing my hair, taking time on my makeup.. these are things that i sometimes see as a waste of time. i'd rather be doing other things. there are only so many hours in the day, you know? but when i don't put effort into myself, i see the results on my attitude. i become impatient with other people, i'm not as cheery.. you get it. people seems to like me more when i like me. i like me when i'm not a mess.
i am the happiest when i am reading a great book.
if i don't have something great to read for twenty minutes at the end of my day, i'm not a happy person. simple as that.
i am the happiest when i am using my creativity.
whether that is playing with my camera, doing someone's hair and makeup, blogging, writing, drawing, painting, giving an old piece of furniture a face lift, singing, anything.. if i don't get my creative juices flowing.. it hasn't been a good day.
i am the happiest when i am giving love.
ya.. ya.. no one likes the mushy couple who can't take their hands off of each other. and that is not what i'm saying. [though, lets be honest here, i've definitely been 1/2 of that couple a time or two. or nine.] what i'm talking about is giving love. of all sorts. if that means taking care of someone i don't know, or answering the phone for a friend at two am [because honestly, who calls you at that time unless they really need you?], or being the absolute best daughter, sister, friend, grand-daughter, girlfriend i know how to be. i am by far, my absolute happiest when i am giving love.
i know who i am at my happiest.
so.. who are you at yours?
