Happiness Everywhere

     Last year I was privileged enough to work in the streets and orphanages of Honduras.  Honduras is the 2nd most impoverished country in the world and thus in many people's eyes they should be depressed and discouraged.  So why am I putting them on a happiness blog? Because they are the most joyful group of people I have ever met.  The children always had smiles stretching across their faces despite the skin stretched tightly against their ribs.  Wouldn't it be wonderful for us to learn that true joy is found within your heart and not in possessions or situation like these children?

I can't help but smile whenever I see this

Happy Father's Day

A SMILE

Do It

Try something new

        In days at work, home, or for me school, sometimes I just feel like a robot.  We run through the same routine on repeat. How do we take control of our minds and make the daily grind exciting? Try something new. Whether it is taking a shower at night with just a night-light on (I did that the other night) or driving home a different route, there are thousands of small ways we can switch things up to make them a little bit more exciting. 

If your angry...

"If in life you stumble make it the beginning of a dance"

Break up the monotony of the day. Throw your cares away. And dance, dance wherever you may be!!!!

Be Someone

Sometimes in life we get too busy to smile. The craziness of the world takes over our mind and actions. Take a minute and take a break. Here are some ideas to get you started...

Be Different

Remember to think POSITIVELY

Let yourself find UNBOUNDED JOY in the 
little things

Spring is here so here is a check list for living life to the fullest

 

If you can't avoid life's puddles, 

ENJOY THEM!

All growing up this was my favorite song and it always makes me smile.  This was the song I had in my head when I thought about the name for this blog. Enjoy and don't forget to smile!!!!
