What a feeling!

What are you longing for in your life? When I contemplate this question my answer is – Happiness – as I welcome
this desire into my life I am reminded of the feelings of happiness I experienced in the past. I am also aware of the feelings,
past or present that can so easily block me from experiencing happiness moment to moment.

I believe happiness can sometime be hidden under our old beliefs – sometime it is difficult to remember moments of happiness
when we are faced with challenges. Our ideal can be so big that we miss the small moments of happiness – we become
attached to a picture that may be bigger than the moment allows.

I have a vision of eating vegetables from the garden – in the present I put my attention on the happiness of preparing the soil
or planting the seeds. I then step back knowing more happiness waits as I tend the garden. With each activity my pleasure
increases knowing the end result is the harvest.

What is your definition of happiness? Could the feeling of satisfaction for a job well done create happiness? Could you give
yourself permission to think about past accomplishments with pride and feel the feeling of happiness?  Could you connect to
the feeling of love within your heart which awakened at the first flush of romantic connection? Do you remember?

By remembering these feelings and reconnecting to them, it becomes easier to welcome endless possibilities into our lives. It
is often easier to focus on the “wrong making” which in itself has a feeling – is this the feeling you are welcoming today?  Are
you ready to release yourself from this burden and reconnect to the feeling of “acceptance”? The first step is easy – Choose Happiness.

Today I,
Choose Happiness
Accept Life is Easy
Am grateful for my experiences
Celebrate my successes
Welcome new possibilities

And so it is…
