Life is Good

"You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.  You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life." -- Albert Camus

I haven't blogged much lately.  

It's not because I don't have anything to say.  Lord knows that has NEVER been my problem.

I've just been...living. 

Living life.  And loving it.

I'm not pushing against the flow.  I'm not fighting reality.  I'm just putting one foot in front of the other.

I start my day by thinking of something to be thankful for.  And once I establish myself on firm footing, the day just seems to take care of itself.

I'm loving my sleep time, my awake time, my leisure time, my running time, my social time, my work time.

I'm just...enjoying.  

It's nice.

In other words, life is good.  Really, really good.

I decided I was going to be happy.

And I am.

Pretty cool, huh?

It really does work, if you work it.

I realized that I'm in control of how I react to anything and everything, all day, every day.  I choose what to expend my energy on.  I am the captain of my ship.

I am incredibly aware.  And empowered.

And we can all be this way, feel this way, live this way.

All it takes is the desire to be happy.

And so it is.

Are you going to choose happiness?  Are you going to create your own beautiful existence?

"The philosophy of mine earth can be summed up as this:  Sunshine creates happiness, and I create myself.  Nights are long and life is predominantly good.  Wind is refreshing.  Tea is wisdom.  Do the best you can, and be good to yourself so that you can above all be good to others." -- Jessi Lane Adams
