Changing to Positive

Yesterday was a blah day, not bad, not good, not sad, not happy.  You could say it lacked emotion.  So today I have made a decision to make it a happy day by choosing to do the things I enjoy that will bring me happiness.  Some of these things are visiting people that are positive, gardening, sewing, cooking, going for a ride and many other activities.  Now which do I choose? Decisions, decisions... Perhaps I should just let it happen.

Simple Things In Life

As I grow older I'm more aware that the simple things in life are so important.  Whether it's watching a sunset, going for a ride or spending time with the people you care about all are activities that can be enjoyable and warm one's heart.  For me getting away from my house and having freedom from my everyday life means so much.  At one time my home was a happy place and a place I could relax in, but not any longer.  I want to get back that feeling of a peaceful refuge.  Perhaps it's the people in this house, Louie with his disability and always having to have care and Becky with her unstable personality.

I love morning when no one else is awake and I am alone.  To sit, have a cup of coffee and  let my mind wander is pure heaven.  As I sit here writing I ponder where life has taken me and where I will  journey next.  Yesterday was a simple day of taking a ride, having lunch and talking to a friend, but it was totally enjoyable and very calming.  Today is just beginning and I'm hoping for another tranquil day...perhaps that's too much to wish for, but we'll see.

Last year around Christmas I decided to be happy and I've achieved more happiness than I had.  This year I plan on reaching for the stars for even more happiness, but doing so simply.  My plans are contacting friends more often and changing the mood in this house.  Today's plan is to add more music and think happy thoughts.  Simple but effective.  Time to go wish upon a star.

What if...

The "what if" question often comes to mind.  I could spend a lifetime wondering if I took another path what would have happened, where would I be today?  Would I be happier?  Would I be sadder?  What type of children would I have?  Where would I be living?

No one can predict where life will lead them.  I've come to the conclusion that I'm where I'm suppose to be and the experiences I have had make me who I am.  Not sure if I would change anything because then I wouldn't be me.  Most of the time I do like me. 

Just wondering...
