Happiness comes from the choices that we make each and every day - the very choices that form the foundation of our future. Centering yourself in the *today* of life, honoring what is already there, finding joy in who you are and where you are, is the key to happiness. Lasting happiness comes from the ability to love - to share the joy in your life. It comes from the ability to both give and receive love - an all of its forms. It comes from family, from friends, and from the joy you get from where you place your energies - from both your career or work life and what this gives you and from the energy expended in joyous activities - the play in your life. Each day, give thanks for t he positives. The bills may be in arrears - but you are working. Give thanks. You don't own your own home - but your family is healthy and happy. Give thanks. What comes to you in life is what you put you attention on - make the conscious choice to put your attention on the little things throughout your day that have brought you joy. Let go of your burdens. In any situation - what happens to you depends on how you yourself choose to look at it. Bring in humor - choose to forgive and forget. Letting go of what you perceive as hurts makes room for joy and happiness to enter. Choose to find the beauty in everything. Make a conscious effort each day to find time to yourself - quiet time. Be in a place that is pleasing to you - pleasant sights, pleasant sounds. Feel yourself relax in this gentle atmosphere. Feed your soul. Connect with your intuitive self - dream the small as well as the big dreams. Put your big toe in the water - see where this takes you. Spend time in dreamtime - whether you access this state from an active, meditative posture or whether you access it through sleep - take thoughts of what you want in the future into dreamtime with you. See what voices you hear - see what visions are brought to you. Through connecting with life on a daily basis, through acknowledging the goodness that already exists, through being willing to care about others as well as yourself, and through active connection with your intuitive self through dreamtime you can find and live the happiness that is already in front of you. On this day - may the smiles of many enter and warm your life.
