"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are all in harmony." --Mahatma Gandhi
I thought long and hard about this amazing quote and agreed on all levels. I thought about the recent death of my amazing Mother and had contemplated that when she died, I believed my entire world would have to stop, rest, heal. Instead, the opposite occurred. Her love and energy propelled me to keep moving, keep creating. I felt her encouragement at every angle and when I felt like quitting, I felt her presence and it made me incredibly happy. So happy!
I was born to parents with limited means and not always "happy" circumstances. I wasn't always a happy person. In fact, being an angry teenager taught me so much and I am eternally grateful for my sisters, my girlfriends (their mothers) that knew, I was never meant to be unhappy! I am happy now. Incredibly happy. I choose to be happy. I make it the necessity in my life. One of the best compliments I recently received was from an amazing 12 year old boy who is now my friend. He was recently in my presence and I indicated I was heading out to the Spa for two nights for some fun with my girlfriend and my kids. He said, "Does the fun ever end with you?" I loved it. 12 years old and recognizing I have fun. I live fun. I choose fun. Do you? Fun doesn't cost money. Fun doesn't mean even leaving your home, although there are some great fun places!
Your life is full of choices. Don't choose to be unhappy. Choose fun, life, laughter... Join me to pick apples, ride roller coasters, hike mountains, have pink margaritas. Say yes! I promise, we will have FUN!
Warmest,
Jordan
