Finding Rays of Happiness

Who am I? Writing multiple posts in one day? I am as surprised as you. I guess I have a lot to say. These posts are a lot more lighthearted than usual. Maybe that is why I can write so many? I am not emotionally and mentally exhausted. I have my low points for sure as we all do but today is a high point and I am going to enjoy it. I am wearing a colorful outfit and I am out in public! Sometimes we just need some time to mourn a situation or process our circumstances and then we can move on. We can start to see the good in them. A good thing to do if you are in a situation that is not that ideal is to try to find the good things no matter how small. That is what I am trying to do. I am a writer so I actually get pen and paper and write them out like a list but some people just list them off in their heads. I think it is important to except your situation and mourn it and have your time of sadness or depression but it is also important to look for the good things so that you are not eternally trapped in that sadness or depression. The ups and downs of happiness and sadness or depression have been constant in my life. So, something I have been advised to do and have forced myself to do over the years is look for the good things in the midst of the sadness. Things like, the sky is really pretty today? I love this rainstorm! My hair looks really good today! Pointing out things that may seem trivial to others could change your mood for the whole day or even just for the next five minutes. How ever long you can hold onto that ray of happiness.
