How is everyone coping with this freezing weather? We are in Virginia, and it is quite cold at the moment. Winter is my favorite season, so this is an ideal match for me. Watching it snow is one of my favorite pastimes. Of course, as long as it does not consist of sleet and freezing rain.
Anyways, how do you feel about the freezing temperatures during the winter? Is skiing or snowboarding something you enjoy? There is also the option of sledding. Let us know.
Would you really be happy if your circumstances changed? Preconceived ideas of happiness prevent us from being satisfied until they are realized.
Life isn’t always easy – even after certain things happen, we aren’t satisfied! As a result, we shift our focus to something bigger and better, believing that will make us happy (or happier). Never do we allow ourselves to be content. How about you?
Even if not everything in your life is perfect, you can decide to be happy RIGHT NOW. Here are 3 ways to get started:
1) Be grateful. One of the most powerful attitudes is gratitude. You feel good and your focus shifts from what you don’t have to what you do have! By focusing on what you are grateful for (even the really small blessings), you worry less about what is lacking. The result?Happiness spreads more widely!
2) Take a moment to breathe. Being rushed and scattered all the time makes it difficult to be happy and content. Make time for yourself to relax, dream, and enjoy life’s simpler moments to be truly happy. Make it a habit to do things you love every day. Listen to great music, read books that stimulate your imagination, go for long walks, and just enjoy life.
3) Love the journey.Some of us base our expectations on far-off results, such as completing goals. Our belief is that everything will be perfect once we reach our destination. Enjoying the journey to your destination can lead to much success! Embrace every moment as an opportunity to work towards higher goals. Whenever you achieve a goal, feel pride in your accomplishment. Make it a worthwhile journey and you’ll enjoy the end result even more!
You need to understand that happiness is often a choice you make each moment. Although some serious situations make it difficult to feel happy, most often we allow the little things to disturb us and block any happiness we might otherwise experience. Embrace happiness, and you’ll reap the rewards!
The hymn I’ve been searching for almost a decade is finally on iTunes 😊😊😊. Grandma’s House by Tommy Ellison. This has always been my favorite hymn. I remember like was yesterday listening to this in the kitchen when we were little with my grandma. I think they played it every morning. This is one hymn I’ve never forgotten. I couldn’t remember who sang it but I always knew the song. Then one day my aunt was like I hear it on pandora all the time and she told me who sung it. I was so happy when I found it on YouTube now I can finally have it on iTunes. God is always on time. Ain’t He good.
