Secret to happiness

There isn’t really a secret to happiness… but there are a million ways to be happy. Whatever you focus on is what you’ll find. I’ve started to wake up and look for things I’m grateful for. I have SO much to be thankful for. I have a (mostly) clean home. Having a teenage boy at home doesn’t make that an easy task. My family is loving and supportive. I have so many good friends who would be there for me at the drop of a hat. I know not everyone does, so it’s not lost on me how blessed I am. I have got to experience some really cool things in life (see bucket list). Most of my online blogging is really for me, I’m not sure if I’ll ever share it publicly. I look back on my life so far and damn, I’m proud. I’ve got to do anything I’ve set my mind to. There is always going to be something to complain about but dang, there’s also so much to be grateful for. Learning patience these past few months has been the biggest game changer for me. No need to rush, let things happen, don’t force. Focus on the good, strive for better, but don’t beat yourself up. I see now why everyone thinks I’m so hard on myself, because I was. Goodness.. everything doesn’t have to perfect or done right away, sometimes good enough = happiness.
