| a 5th swing and I begin smiling |
Each morning I trick myself into laughing or at least, crack a smile when I see my 'jumping puppet' hanging in my bathroom. Some years ago I bought this little smiling item in Croatia, thinking nothing much of it as the years rolled by. Tongue-in-cheek, though, it has saved me much in therapy than the few euros I paid for it. I think we all need something to trigger a moment reminding us where our happiness lies. I remember the wisdom of Tolstoy as I pen these words: "The source of happiness is in your heart. It would be foolish to look for it elsewhere. You would be like the shepherd looking for a lost lamb when all along it was tucked inside his shirt."
Find something similar to make you smile each morning as you begin your day. A happy moment is around the corner with my winter Prairie sunrise!
