"Making Me Happy"

Happy Thursday - As I was sitting here today, thinking, I wanted to find out the answer to this question concerning all of us, “what makes you/me happy?” What is the one thing, or it could be a couple of things, that really make “you, and only you,” feel good. Not that you’re being selfish, or that you don’t want to include someone, because sometimes it could a person that makes you happy, but what I’m focusing in on today, is just you. Sometimes if we don’t take the time to spend with ourselves, we really don’t know what makes “us” happy. After my divorce, I became best friends with myself. That was the best thing for me, even though at the time, it seem like my world was coming to an end. But as time began to heal my wounds, I had an opportunity to see, what really made “me” happy. I discovered a lot of things, but here are a couple of things, that really keep me content. Music; I love music. When it I put it on, it relieves me from whatever kind of stress I’m dealing with at the time; it literally changes my mood. Another thing that makes me happy, is the beach; when I’m there, it’s like I go somewhere else in my mind. The sound of the ocean is calming to my spirit. So my question for you today is, what makes you feel good? Hhmmm, think about that for minute. As we prepare to go into the weekend, steal away for a few moments, and focus in on making you feel happy this weekend. Therefore, if it’s buying a new pair of shoes that make you feel good, girl I ain’t made at you. If it’s buying that make-up you’ve been eyeing for a while, buy it, and then strut, your stuff, when you put it on. And if it’s just sitting on the couch in peace, watching your favorite movie with a big bowl of ice cream, well sis, enjoy. But remember whatever it is, that makes just you happy, take the time to explore it. In closing, Beyonce sung these lyrics in her song, “Me, Myself and I,”: “Me, Myself and I, that’s all got in the end, that’s what I found out, and there ain’t no need to cry, I took a vow that from now on, I’m going to be my own best friend.” This is your life, and every now and then, you must take the journey of enjoying the happiness of you, yourself, and you. From one sister to another, be happy. Peace & Love…
