My life is so exciting! I saw George Clooney, again! How does it get any better than that?

Yesterday I was laughing at a conspiracy theory that my friend had just heard and I got to explain to him that I prefer ignoring the pending doom and be happy until it happens rather than worrying about it. It is a way of seeing things that I have adopted by choice.
Talking about this and other things, made me realize that all the classes I have taken led me to trust that I’ll be able to take care of myself no matter what.
And no, I don’t need to buy canned meat for the world ending next month because if I do survive, the supermarkets will be full of canned stuff…
So much gratitude for laughter and awareness!!!

I got on the bus and the farebox did not work to stamp my ticket. Free ride. How does it get any better than that? Someone getting up in front of me freeing a premium seat just for me! Blue sky, magic in the air… Lots to be grateful for!

Rolly and I had stopped to smell roses and Rolly said: “Isn’t it fantastic that they smell so wonderful?”
I am grateful for smelling the roses in my life.

When I was a kid and later, my mum  would often say things like we’re so lucky, life is so wonderful, etc. It used to really annoy me when she said such things because I didn’t get it…
Now, every now and then, I feel joyful for my wonderful life and I laugh at myself for being annoyed at my mum when I didn’t get it. I wonder how many people I could annoy with being happy?
How lucky am I to have a happy mum?

I saw an article on Facebook titled “Stop trying to be happy”. It said that you don’t try to be angry, you just are, so it should be the same for happiness.
I disagree with this idea: anger and happiness are not the same. If it was as easy to be happy as it is to be angry, there would be many more happy people on the planet…
While searching for more on this I came accross “happiness is just a choice”. The choice is often in how we choose to see our circumstances. And the choice is sometimes hard and may seem nonexistent. Yet the choice is there somewhere.
I am trying to be happier and happier and happier and even happier. My trying is a journey. My interesting point of view is “never give up on trying to be happy”.
And if what you’ve been trying up until now doesn’t work, try something different! (I can help with that!)
I am grateful for more happiness in my life.

I am grateful to remember my gratitude post before the end of the day!
I am grateful for my friends sending me unicorn pictures!

I am grateful for noticing a difference:
Someone who lives close to us acted in a way that seemed violating. At first, I was angry and ready to fight back. And then using my tools, I was able to rapidly take a step back and look at the situation differently. All that within a few hours.
In the past I may have gotten to the same outcome but certainly not that fast.
How does it get any better than that?

I am grateful for my body. My body is a contribution to my life. I get to go to bed late and still be able to get up early and function. Or I get to sit in a car driving for 5 hours and still able to move after that… Thank you body!

Canadians are so courteous: I was waiting for  the bus in this beautiful ordely line-up. I stepped out of the line because the bus arriving was not my bus. I had not seen that a second line was forming behind me. So I was out of the new line. But when my bus arrived, the one guy who was behind me in the old line waved for me to go back in front of him in the new line. How nice!
Being at the front of the line can mean getting a seat versus having to stand the whole way…
I am grateful for courteous people!
