Happiness
is…
How would
you complete that statement? For me, happiness is…finding the funny
wherever I can.
I miss my
son when he is away at school. The house just isn’t the same…it’s clean. He
came home one day in the middle of the week, and I said, “While you’re here,
can you cut the grass for me.”
Perhaps I
used a poor choice of words, my son huffed and puffed like the Wolf in the
story of the Three Little Pigs, then said, “You’re spoiled Ma.”
“You drove an
hour from your plush college apartment with a gift of dirty laundry for me, but
I’m spoiled? I’m sure if you Google search the word spoiled, there is a
picture of you.”
You would
have thought I asked him to cut the grass blade by blade with kiddie scissors.
Hmph.
My son and I
often banter back and forth with humor. When he was in high school, my son
visited a friend who was well to do. He came home and said, “Ma, Sam is rich.”
“It’s
okay…we’re funny.”
I’ve heard
it said that it takes 21 days to form a habit. Let’s go with that number. For
the next 21 days find things that stir up happiness for you. In your happiness quotient
include humor:
·
re-tell
funny family stories.
·
send
a funny card to a friend.
·
watch
a comedy show.

Happiness is…laughter.
Happiness is…whatever
you want it to be.
Happiness is…a
component of your well-being.
Make
happiness a habit.
