IAAC Day 68 | Chooseday Thoughts: Be Happy

Time for another Chooseday thought. Most everyone is constantly on the pursuit of happiness. For me, happiness is a state of mind. If you really want to be happy, THINK happy, BE happy. True that life is not perfect, but that doesn't mean we couldn't be happy. I'm perfectly imperfect, but when I think about it, I know I have many things in my life right now that I'm totally thankful for. They bring me joy.

So I start the video with a really nice view from the terrace garden this morning. Then, if you find my greeting a bit lacking in enthusiasm, it's 'coz the gardener has been absent for some time. Today they sent a young man to water the plants. He's more like taking his own sweet time and lounging around there. I got a bit impatient waiting for him to finish the task that I went ahead and recorded that opening clip. I didn't want to scare him with my enthusiasm. LOL! After all, folks seem to think I'm a serious, no nonsense person. Most of the time, I am.

The wind was blowing hard this afternoon. I'm not complaining. I love windy. I had to shoot that short clip showing the swaying plants. LOL! Thankfully, the wind tamed a bit so I was able to do my bit of afternoon walk. It was another busy day. Glad for the short break every now and then.

Choose to be happy every single day of your life. Some days it's a bit harder to be, but just try. Practice on it and be self-aware. After a while, it will come naturally. Plus, surround yourself with stuff -- and even people -- that spark joy in you. I must admit I worked on achieving this mindset. Even then, I do get feelings of sadness every now and then. I somehow manage to shake them off after some time, as I'm really used to just being glad. So, be happy. Life is short. Make good use of your time. See you on tomorrow's video.

Good-bye June! I pray that the second half of 2020 will bring better events and circumstances.
