Happiness Is ...

Get your happy on, because not only is it the official first day of spring, but it's also International Day of Happiness.

Our friends at the Joy Team are at it again, celebrating with 252 positively uplifting billboards across America. Have you seen one in your area yet? 
Remember last year when we partnered to create this one?

That made me so happy.

So today, I'm thinking about happiness,

and what that looks like, sounds like, and feels like in my Corner.

Happiness is being a mom, a wife, a school counselor.

Happiness is spending time together with family.

Happiness is a check-in text or email from a friend.

Happiness is a smile given, received and returned.

Happiness is doing, receiving, or watching a kind act.

Happiness is having good friends to share my story.

Happiness is solving (and surviving!) a conflict.

Happiness is getting lost in a good movie or book.

Happiness is a finishing a big task, like calculating taxes.

Happiness is baking up some goodness to share.

Happiness is being thankful and showing gratitude.

Happiness is soaking up some Vitamin D outdoors.

Happiness is helping or mentoring someone.

Happiness is gardening, knitting, writing.

Happiness is being understood.

Happiness is passion.

Happiness is peace. 

Happiness is grace.

Happiness is forgiving and being forgiven.

Happiness is feeling positively joyful.

And praying for that for our loved ones.

Clearly my cup runneth over.
ps. Today would have also been Mr. Rogers' 88th birthday.
We are all connected!
Here's to making it a cheerfully happy day.
