I’ve been thinking a lot
about happiness this week; where it comes from and how to keep it no matter
what happens in my life.
I’ve had some disappointments
lately, even times where I’ve had to stop and catch my breath. I’ve realized
I wasted a lot of time waiting for something. Waiting patiently for my turn. Watching everyone else wave as they pass me
by. I wanted so much to join them.
But, I can’t. I’m not
meant to. I’m supposed to take a different route. A road no shorter or bumpier but one that is
all my own.
And, I can be happy now, along
the way, as I continually carve out new dreams.
I am
happy because I know who I am. I am happy because I have so much to be grateful
for. I am happy because I feel loved. I
am happy because I love what I do. I am happy because I work hard. I am happy
because I am a good person. I am happy because I share my talents. I am happy
because I choose to be.

Great post, Katie. This really hit home for me. Thank you.
I sure love you. I'm happy that you're happy:)
Great post.
I have always struggled to be happy, but I realized with experience, that happiness comes from within us. We can't depend on circumstances, people, things or anything to make us happy. It's all on us. We're responsible for our own state of mind.
That photo is gorgeous. I think you should be happy you said things other people never realize.
Your wisdom becomes you, Katie.
Thanks for sharing it.
=)
Well put! Love this post! Your perspective is awesome. Glad you're living the good life:)
I love what you said. I wish I'd known that when I was your age - I'd be a lot further along in progression than I am now. But I am making strides and I, too, choose to be happy. And special thanks from me for sharing your talents.
That was such a wise and wonderful post!
Beautifully written. Thanks for sharing your heart.
Hi, I just found you via Colour Me Katie. This was the first post I came across and it was like a breath of fresh air. Sometimes we do get stuck waiting for something that may not ever come. Thanks for this perspective, keep thinking happy thoughts :)
