I have come up with the habit I would like to form for Happiness. This may sound lame, but I am going to try smiling at myself in the mirror every morning.
I’ve been thinking about this, and have found that my daughter makes me happy, my husband makes me happy. Usually, my friends make me happy. There are even moments where my work makes me happy (I work with kids, and while most of my job involves dealing with staff and parents, I do get some “kid time,” and it’s often hilarious – especially those kindergartners!). But I have realized that I don’t often make myself happy. So that’s my first attempt at happiness, not only will I smile every morning (which I usually do for my daughter anyway), I’m going to smile for myself.
I haven’t told my husband about this yet (he’ll probably laugh at me), so I’m going to try to remember to do it every day without a post-it on the mirror.
