Happy days

Where does happiness come from?

Where does sadness come from?

Where are these emotions that swirl and writh inside us?

Why are they here?


These are questions which run through my mind.

They all have answers.

I know the answers.

But knowing the answers and getting the answers are two different things.

It's hard to put things into practice.

My happy week has been progressing without much heartache.

I have found two true friends buried deep in my heart.

They truly love me.

I don't need to doubt it either.

That is a blessing I didn't know I had.

So, this week, I am remembering the miracle of true friends.

Forever.

Where to Go

Challenges come for a good purpose. They teach you things, lessons that not learned, would hinder how you live. I love good challenges.

Being happy all the time is one of them.

It seems so easy to plaster a smile on your face and stare the world in the eyes.

But a fake smile never fooled anyone.

To have a sincere heart: now that is a challenge.

To be really happy: there lies the test.

But I think it is worth it.

So my challenge is this.

To be truly, honestly happy for this next week. Not surface happy. Not a facade put on to hide what lies beneath.

Really...happy.

Smile.

Laugh.

Sing.

Dance.

Things will come, irritations and pain and turmoil, to stretch the lips into a frown. Don't let them. Dig in the corners of that mouth, listen to the truth of what really matter in the face of eternity, and smile.

Love is the healer of all things.

1 Corinthians 13.

Read it. All of it. And you will be smiling all week too.
