I Feel Happy That...

Another part of the Cycles tool that I mentioned in the post just before this one, is naming, acknowledging and accepting the BRIGHTER feelings that weave their way through our days. These are gratitude, happiness, security and pride.

I am choosing to keep my awarenesses of gratitude on a separate blog, Gratitude No Matter What.

But I think from time to time I will do my Happiness Lists here on this blog, because when I can access that feeling of happiness, I know I am just a breath away from clear, pure JOY.

I feel happy that I got up early and made chicken soup for myself.

I feel happy that I had enough energy to make beef stew in the crockpot for Jeff too.

I feel happy that the house is silent right now.

I feel happy that I chose to sit in my easy chair and read for an hour before starting to work.

I feel happy that I also chose to sit at my art table and create for another hour before starting work.

I feel happy that I am feeling pretty good today.

I feel happy that I have a 4-episdode DVD of Gilmore Girls to watch. Also Parenthood on the DVR.

I feel happy that I am writing.
