WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?



A field of Lilac

Ideas to help us think about this question, culled from everywhere: 

"There are two ways to be rich:  one is by acquiring much, and the other is by desiring little."

Offline is the new luxury

When we feel stressed out, a daily dose of reading can be a wonderful cure.  There's a novel for every ailment.

Make your life a little easier, especially in your head.

Don't forget to take some time for life's little pleasures.

Doing something usually brings people together, buying something does not.

What if your fairy Godmother is the wisest, smartest version of yourself--whispering from the sidelines: walk in the sunshine, jump in the water, say your truth, be kind or silly, be you.

Don't forget JOMO:  the joy of missing out.

Bloom where you are.

Dig a hole, plant a seed, water it and wait. 

The best thing to hold on to in life is each other. 

Going back to a simpler life is not a step backward. 

We read to feel less alone, to make connection with a consciousness other than our own.

Solitude is the thread that connects us with our inner world.

If it costs you your peace, it's too expensive.
