Happiness is…

Listening to the radio this afternoon while doing the school pick up, I heard this quote.

“Happiness is not found, it is created”

I LOVE THAT

Happiness to me has always (well, in my adult life) been a choice. I can choose to see the positive in my situation. I can choose to create happiness in the life that I have been given.

This week I’ve seen happiness created by:

Thank you Lord for the little things which bring such happiness and joy…thank you for these little reminders each day.
