I had a great day. :) I was able to go walking with my husband and that was nice. He even walked at my slow 7 month pregnant pace. I got a nap. I spent some time with a wonderful friend. I think I even helped her with her some of her own issues. That made me feel happy to be helpful. Then met with some other friends for a new book club on "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind." Love that book. I'm thankful for a lot of happy moments yesterday.
Since today is Saturday, I thought I would post someone elses quote or opinion on happiness. Maybe I'll come up with some snazzy name like "Quote Someone Saturday." .... Okay, maybe not that one. :) I'll work on it.
This article comes from Leslie Householder. She is the same author I mentioned a few days ago.
Now, on to the Law of Polarity. Several weeks ago
I mentioned that there's a way to get really excited
about life when things are falling apart all around
you. By the Law of Polarity we know that contained
within every situation is a good and a bad side to it.
If something appears to be a little bit bad,
then by law it is also just a little bit good.
On the other hand, if something seems
catastrophic, then contained within
the situation is something equally FABULOUS.
The problem? Much of the time, we never bother
looking for the good in a bad situation.
Why is it so important to look for the good?
Because remember, our thoughts shape our future.
If we look for the good, we can be certain we will
find it, and it helps to simply KNOW that good
does exist in it SOMEWHERE. Often it isn't
obvious for a while, but "seek and ye shall
find" is as true a principle here as anywhere.

I think back to some of the most traumatic
experiences in my life, and I can see the wonderful
things that happened, only as a result of the tragedy.

things that happened, only as a result of the tragedy.
I've been told that pine tree seeds are released
during forest fires. Whatever our 'forest fire' is,
it is releasing the seeds of greatness within us.
Think on THOSE possibilities...
and more good will flow into your life than
you've ever experienced.

I really like this quote. I think it is exactly what I am trying to do with this blog and in my life. I hope you will join me. Share your own moment of happiness. Thanks for reading and sharing. Your comments really make me happy! :)

Radel, I needed to read this today. Whenever something happens that didn't fit with my "expectation" or "vision in my head", it's very hard for me to see the positive. I could see myself begin to be irrational--I could feel it from Scot's body language and I tried to see the good. I found it. And before I interacted with that kiddo, I had found enough to praise her for what she did--instead of what she didn't. I thanked her for being assertive and finding a way to accomplish what she did. And my happy moment for today? Reading your blog and feeling grateful that I took a breath and searched for the good. I adore you.
