April 20, 2021

Good morning everyone, today is April 20, 2021 Tuesday. I hope all is well with everybody today. The weather I don’t know what to say each day the forecasters predict one thing and we get amother so we will just have to wait and see.

As you know I am a firm believer In happiness, I really do believe that is is good for our self being. However that is not the reality of life. We spend most of our lives being unhappy or sad and we are always waiting for the miracle that will bring us joy. Many years ago I attended Weight Watchers, more times than you could imagine, but the lecturer was a wonderful speaker and person and in one session she explained that we need to take control of ourselves because we are always waiting for everything to be in place to live ,lose weight, be happy, but it doesn’t happen that way. In an average month most of us are happy about 3 or 4 times. The rest of the time we are in some kind of turmoil. I listened to her but it took me many years to realize she was right. The only person or thing to make you happy is yourself. Believe me I work on it everyday it is not something that comes easy to us. Everyday will bring us a new test something we need to deal with, so we have a choice, we can walk around sad and depressed or we pull our pants up and deal with it, the best we can and move onto better things. Because being in a better frame of mind actually does make us feel better. That’s why I am such an advocate of finding something no matter how big or small that can bring us joy and happiness. Not what other people want but what you want. Yesterday you know what made me happy and many of you might even find it foolish but Amanda asked me to go to the store with her for the weekend party and she was buying the napkins, just the array of colors for a split second made me feel happy, I don’t know why maybe the vividness of the colors or the combination she chose but I was happy for that minute. So you see it could be a nothing thing. We have to learn to look at life and things differently.

Now I talked a lot today about what might seem pointless but I don’t think it is. I think we need to stop and look at our lives and what brings us good feelings. Remember this is a one way street we are on, and we can’t go back and start over, we can only go forward .

We will talk soon, Til Tomorrow!
