my world.

i wish everyone were happy.

i was asked once if i could have one super power, which would i choose? i think almost immediately i said i would want the power to make everyone happy. snap my fingers and you are happy. not ridiculously, heroin-forget-my-problems happy. just happy with who you are, where you are, who you're with. it is not that hard to be happy. it seems like people have forgotten. how do you show someone the way to happiness when there isn't a way? just BE happy.

people who don't know. me. "it's easy to say 'just be happy' when you have a good life and great kids..." blah blah. yeah right. my life is anything but easy. i am full to the brink with stress about money and raising my kids. but i do have a good life. i have friends that help if i ask. family to hang out with. a place to live (at least for now). a bed to sleep in. food to eat (sometimes). i am happy to be ALIVE! look at the leaves falling! the cold wind in your face! the rain that you avoid but secretly want to run through!

what would life be like if we all did and said the things we mean. instead of saying goodbye with a wave, tell them you love them! tell them how much they mean to you! are they special to you? tell them! you might be special to them to! to be happy you have to give! give! and you will receive! happiness! love! light!

now i sound like a freak. but its like... i've started feeling happy, being happy with my life, and now the happiness is pouring over me like a waterfall getting larger and heavier and more wonderful all the time!
