For so long, I have desired to be happy and always be happy. But (yep it was coming), so much has gone on and I have taken to heart so much, that my happiness was pushed to the side. Or better yet, thrown out and I never caught it. Does it hurt? Hell yeah, it hurts. I try to be the kind and dedicated person. People have taken advantage of that; I have noticed it and I'm not going to allow it anymore.
Now don't get me wrong, there are some people that desire for me to be happy and that's great. Like, my husband. He is great and he pushes me to be happy. He tells me every day to go after my happiness. Sometimes, I don't know how to because of the atmosphere I'm in at that moment.
1) Saying No
In my post, It's okay to say no, I mention how I used to struggle with that. I mean every time you looked around, I was saying yes to this and that. Well, that has stopped. I can't be happy if I'm only there to please you and not get anything from it. So, if I'm not comfortable with doing something or just don't want to do it, then I'm saying no!
(I know this is a little repetitive to me saying this but you have to understand the sincerity in it.)
2) Enjoying What I Want
I like to blog, craft, cook, clean house (yes, I know that's weird), and hang out with my REAL FRIENDS. I also like girlie things and techie stuff. So if I am doing those things, I'm happy. People that know me, for real, know this already.
3) I LOVE to SING
I have a musical background and I love to sing. I have been singing all my life, but it has opened many doors up for me in the past 6 years or so. It's relaxing. It's expressive. It feels good to do it. I can control it to do whatever I want in it. It's like it's a way to escape from everything and just be in my own world. If you have never heard me sing before, here is a clipor two. Enjoy :-)
4) Reading
Yes, I like to read. Reading gives me the opportunity to picture the story any way I want to. It allows me to portray the characters in a way that keeps me entertained. Strange, yes I know but I'm happy when I read. I get into a quiet corner and off I go!
5) Binge Watching
Yes, there is such a thing and I like to do that thing. I mean who can beat watching your favorite show and doing nothing? No one or nothing.
6) The Love of my Family
There is no better feeling than the love and support that I receive from my husband and our son. I know I get on their nerves (and vice-versa ;-)) but when they tell and show me their appreciation, that makes me happy and for me to keep going. I do what I do for them and vice-versa. I mean I'm sure that my other family members love me. But it's an extra special feeling when it comes from your spouse and child.
Yeah, I am focused on keeping my happiness throughout the remaining of the year.
xoxo
