Happiness (I Know, Easier Said Than Done)

"What are you taking?", my mom asked one day, in reference to my new, happy lifestyle, "because I want some." This may sound cliche but I have found that more than anything, happiness is a mindset. I know, I know. Tell that to someone who just broke up with their boyfriend or who found 2 flat tires. A little background here- I WAS that unhappy person. Very recently. Until one day magically something just clicked and I said to myself, you know darnit, I want to be happy! I am going to take it day by day and be good to myself. It's all about the little things. Like, I am going to CHOOSE not to let 2 flat tires bother me. Instead I am going to tell myself that nothing lasts forever and I am going to find something to be grateful for anyways, like the fact that I have a job and can buy new ones, even though it will set me back in other ways. Or if you are unemployed, realize you have family or friends that care about those tires and will help you, you are not alone and that's all that matters. As for the boyfriend, realize it is HIS loss. I mean, why else would he let a person go as awesome as yourself? Enjoy being single because before you know it someone else will come along and you will miss those single days! Mark my words!
I often watch Spongebob Squarepants with my son. There is this one song Spongebob sings called "The Best Day Ever". Those words alone are so powerful and magical, without even hearing the song. Why SHOULDN'T every day be better than the last? (All thanks to a little sea sponge thingy in pants) :)
Mom, no pills here. Just the wanting to be happy and knowing that in a blink of an eye life will all be over and I want to have lived it happily!
