Recently, and I mean RECENTLY - like a couple of days ago, I went back to the gym. It hasn't been easy or fun, but I'm there. I know that it will get better, but it's only day 2 and right now it sucks. I am sure in a few weeks it will feel great and I'm looking forward to that day.
On the way home from spinning class today I realized that I could SEE happy. By this I mean that I'm not exactly happy now, but I can see myself getting there. After all, I can say that, looking back, there were times in my life where I was happy. And, it wasn't too terribly long ago.
What would make me happy? Feeling good - healthy good - would make me happy. Moments when things aren't so harried and David, the boys, and I are together enjoying each others company. I once asked a co-worker when the last time he felt joy was and he couldn't remember. I'm lucky because for me it was recent.
I'd like to be happy again and luckily I know that it is within my reach.
To me, spending time with family & friends is happy. A certain yoga class makes me happy, too. Sometimes a good book or a good movie can do it. Watching my kid do something new & unexpected can be a delight.
