I have been reminding myself to find my "happy place" more often since Corona decided to knock on the world's door.

I think many people say "I want to be happy" but don't really know what that means

For me happiness can be found in everything - I remind myself of blessings and things I should be grateful for daily - otherwise I can easily forget and tumble down into a negative space. 🤪 As an example, my friend came to visit me last week with social distancing. I had not seen her in months as she is one of my friends who is NOT seeing people or going out during this pandemic. I sprayed disinfectant on everything and wiped down my bathroom and kitchen with bleach, just to be on the safe side. I disinfected my house more than usual to make sure she was comfortable.

The Point? I could have EASILY been complaining about the extra cleaning and sitting outside in the hot weather 🤣😓🤣😓🤣😓

I CHOOSE, However, to be Grateful that someone loves me enough to come see me 😍 during a worldwide pandemic AND happy to see my friend's face (even in a mask 😷)

Take time out - seriously - and look around at YOUR reality

Do you have food 🍞 and shelter 🏠?

Does someone or 🐶 🐱 🐭 🐹 🐰 🐸 something ❤️ love you 😍 ?

Do you have a wonderful family 👪 or friends 👫🏽 you consider "family" ?

Are you happy with your life in general 🌼?

It's so easy to take things for granted - until they are gone.

Take a moment to reflect and truly see the positive aspects of your life. Lockdown has been stressful to be sure, but I am still "vertical" the sun 🌞 is shining and I have a roof so I'll keep smiling today 😊

smell whatever roses you have, they won't be in bloom forever 💐🌼🌸🌹🏵️🌷💐

☮️❤️😘😊
