A friend of mine recently told me “Happiness is in major part a choice, at least for those of us that have brain chemicals who let us be happy. Medication doesn’t hurt either if the chemicals are out of whack.”
I truly appreciated those words. And I consider some people I deeply love who say happiness isn’t an every day thing for them. One person described that every day she labels as a happy face or a sad face. For some people what they have will never be enough.
For me, the days that God gives me breath are mostly happy days. Sure I have problems, and sure I am alone in this world. But thoughts of those things don’t take away my smiley face for long.
Today I saved a lizard who was trapped in my bathroom. I had to use a tissue to protect him, he is so tiny! And I hope he finds happiness today. And I hope he is not alone for long. Because every person, every creature, deserves to find their “other” to dance with. Dance in the sun. Dance in the rain. Dance in good times. Dance in bad. Dance in love.
So here’s to my happy day. And to your happy day. And to the happy day for the lizard.
