Happiness

Sometimes happiness comes from validation. From having someone else acknowledge your accomplishments.

Sometimes happiness comes from the people you surround yourself with. Whether family, friends, or coworkers, good company can cause elation and joy.

Sometimes, though, and most importantly, happiness can come from within.

Today while walking Sage, I found myself smiling.

Yesterday while at work, I found myself smiling.

I’m smiling because I have realised I’ve got this. I am enough. I’m smiling because my kids know I love them and I know they love me. I’m smiling because I have a fun loving, snuggly dog that loves to wear clothes and occasionally matches my pyjamas. I’m smiling because Christmas is my favourite time of year. I’m smiling because I get to see the kids in a couple days for Thanksgiving.

I’m smiling because I’m happy.

Find your happiness. It’s okay to ask for help. Sometimes even caregivers need care.
