Hope and the quest for Happiness

As I was at Walmart waiting in line I could see the endless faces of impatience, anger, frustration and out of no where the most beautiful sound in the world made it all disappear.  I heard a babies laughter.  Immediately the faces of those around me seemed to relax and grins appeared.  One child's laughter erased all the negativity we all shared at that moment.   Suddenly I felt lighter as if I were not in Walmart but instead as calm as if I were standing by the side of the ocean listening to the crashing of waves.  It was infectious and I laughed to.  Find happiness in the little things.  Look for it!

Have you ever heard the saying when life hands you lemons you make lemonade?  It is so true!  That term can be used in so many directions.  We go to the doctor and he asks us a few questions, gives us a test and slaps a label on us.  Now we are Bipolar or depressed.  Heres some pills this will fix everything.  The mistake we make is that we are not depressed and we are not Bipolar!.  Depression or Bipolar is a word doctors made up to describe a symptom we have. To often we label ourselves.  We are spiritual beings in a physical body.  We laugh, we cry, and we have anger.   Your a beautiful person and the only person who can make you happy is you.  

Everyone says in order to love another you must first learn to love yourself.  It starts with confidence in who you are.  Take baby steps towards finding confidence in yourself.  One day at a time.  Hobbies are a great way to find inner peace.   As I mentioned my husband is an artist and finds comfort in painting or drawing.  He feels time passes by so fast as he is drawn into his world of creativity.  I myself love to write, paint, read and draw.  Do what makes YOU happy!!  Find time for yourself today and tomorrow.  What do you like to do?
