Happiness...

It's 11:23pm, and somehow I am still awake...listening to oldies...and you know what?

I'm actually pretty happy.

In my last posts I wrote about an attempt to be "more happy" and some of the silly steps in getting there.

Well, I will tell you that the smiling for 30 seconds might not make you happy right away, but it does force your face into wanting to smile...lol...and smiling does make you feel more happy.

So yay for forced happiness!

I tried to deliver 20 compliments in one day...but realistically only made about 5 really meaningful compliments...nevertheless, I did feel better after each of them; and so did the person receiving them! (bonus points!)

I was on my way to happiness after all!

But the real trick was to continue to be thankful.

Making a list of what you are thankful for and surely it will make you slightly more happy. Focus on the great and it will only bring better!

If you don't think you have much to be thankful for, just keep repeating "thank you" in your head, and do it with each step you take...after a while you will notice the improvement in your attitude.

But the thing that made me the most happiness today was making my own t-shirt for my project and working on my webpage.

I am on my way to making this dream a reality and it is pretty amazing :)

But now it is time to get some sleep... it is a lot easier to be happy when you are not sleepy and grumpy!

Good night and thank you,
Kelly
