Let's Try

Be happy

I'm feeling inspired and warm and comfortable and healthy today.
I'm feeling like work is only work...
it will pretty much be exactly the same
if I'm here or if I'm grumpy or if I'm over the moon.

I can't stop a grin from passing over my face over and over again today.
It's Eliana and Adeline's birthday today (5 months old...can you dig it?),
so in the spirit of all things lovely, I thought I'd give something new a try.

Let's try this...

Let's figure out the things that make us happy.

Then let's do the things that make us happy:

do the things that keep us happy.

Let's put aside those things that bring us instant gratification because we know that in a few hours, the regret will weigh us

way...

back...

down.

Let's fill our lives with the people who replace the things we thought brought us happiness:

and make all the room in the world for them and all the stuff they've brought with them-- baggage and Big-gage; patience and virtue; hostility and resentment (we'll get rid of that eventually); joy and more joy.

Let's set a table for those we love

feed them well

and toast

to a good life.
