Do you acknowledge your happiness?
 
So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can. (NLT) Ecclesiastes 3:12

Do you acknowledge your happiness? Often times, we don't recognize our happiness in the moment but instead look back years later saying it was the happiest time of our lives. Take joy in your current happiness, even if it is circumstantial. Let's do a better job of realizing our happiness and not be a person who walks around happy and not even knowing it. What makes you happy today?

It took me a lot of digging to find happiness in my past. What I found, was that I needed a new perspective, and really look at what was, and my part in it, or was it something projected onto me by someone else. Did I take on what was not mine, was I the rescuer and the caretaker, and had a false sense of responsibility and a dysfunctional way of looking at things.

Find that happiness is an in the moment thing. They say, "This too shall pass," and we think of negative things, but it also applies to the positive too. Time marches on, all we have is this 24 hours. If you don't acknowledge it, you should. Time is fleeting.

In the past, I used to make time disappear. In today, there are not enough hours in a day, even living my quiet life.
