I think this blogging thing would be easier if I could perhaps decide what to write about.. I think I will make a schedule, like on Monday I write about things that Bug me, and on Tuesday maybe things that make me Happy... Wednesday I think would be Love day... (don't go askin me why now:) ... On Thursdays, I should write about Inspiration... and on Fridays, I think it will be Children... on Saturday it will be the Past and the Future... and Sundays will be silent.
Now see that was easy. I have always wanted some structure... now I have found it. So here we go.. it's Tuesday. What makes me happy? ... well let's think about that now:)
I have been reading a book called "The Happiness Project" - By Gretchen Rubin. So far the things that are sticking the most, are the little things.. like destroy clutter in your life... it makes clutter in your head. No kidding... And she took a year off of her life to figure it out.(thanks Gretchen)... how to be Happier that is... and she broke it down into themes (kinda like I did.. daily break-it-down) not!... lol, but she's the expert, and I am the newbie.
Anyways... it, among 4000 other things have given me great pause over the last while... on what really makes me happy. So for now, I will try to keep it simple.
I don't remember. Seriously, as terrifying as that may sound, I don't remember. It's like I hit my head, I have happy amnesia. I forget what really makes me happy... please define happy. Is it to feel good? Is it to wake up with energy? Is it to look good? To be able to sleep in? To not have to BE somewhere WITH someone (s)? To be successful? To have good friends? To laugh? To love? To fight and make up? To Forgive? To Forgive myself? To Let Go...?
Here's the thing. Happiness is a little bit of each of these things.. and a kazilllion more... all rolled into one big challenge. Did I lose the War? No... but I am a few behind in the battle logs... time to figure it out. If you were asked if you know a Happy person, could you tell me? And What is it that makes them so...
Glee is on ... it makes me laugh... I guess it makes me Happy:)
It's funny, I don't think anyone is reading my blog. It doesn't matter... I am, and I do matter.. go Mel go...
see you tomorrow on Love day:) lol

My kids are with their Dad this weekend... it's always such a mixed time for me. They leave a void in my space when they aren't here, I came home last night to a dark, quiet house... well the crazy animals were waiting for me, but only to let them out... Molly, our two year old Chocolate Lab, wags her bum like I am the most fabulous person in the world. I would let it go to my head, but she does it for everyone. She is just that good, She's a lesson in Happiness every day. Charlie, our one year old cat, is something to behold. She talks to us. Mostly to tell us off, but she is some kind of wonderful. She's teaching me to love cats. Now that's impressive. I spent most of my life thinking that they were sneaky, impersonal, cranky beings. Not so. Charlie makes me laugh out loud at least once a day.
So where I was going with this... I have time today. And I am going to use my new ex-ray eyes, and my pretty baby Nikon, and the sunshine outside, and try to get to know my eyes and my camera... and try to fill the void for a while. Of course later, our crazy friends are coming over, and well that will be a story for another day. :)
A fresh new perspective on my wonderful life. Taking chances, Taking Pictures, less dark and more light.
