Today is the United Nation’s second International Day of Happiness. Yes, you heard it, Happiness.

Laugh. Cry. Jump. Crawl. Kiss. Love. Sleep. Happy. Rejoice. Hooray. Yahooooo!

Celebrate the day by being happy. Happy about your life regardless of its current state, ugly or bad, rich or poor in spirit, miserable or joyous. Celebrate by being thankful to all who are precious to you, who surround, move and inspire you. Celebrate by thanking the birds on their nests, flowers in the gardens, the river running through, the rocks in the mountain, cars in the highway, bad hair day, the sky. Celebrate your family, yesterday, today and future friendships, appreciate your life’s partnerships. Celebrate the Lord’s presence. Celebrate your girlfriends. Celebrate your husband’s and boyfriend’s. Celebrate you. Go about the day by saying Thank You for being here. Thank You for being alive. Thank You for being you. Make a point to be happy for the sake of Happiness. Make a point to be happy for the sake of life’s worth. Make a point to be here in the presence and the moment. Make a point to do at least for one day, what you wish and desire. Make a point to be beautiful inside and out. Make a point to be happy for others yesterday, today and tomorrow no matter the circumstances. Make a point to just make a point and celebrate. Make a point to be happy for humanity. Make a point to be you. Remember, happiness is the key because you are happy!

Is There Such A Thing As Baby Steps?!

IMG_20130704_152935 Life is not always a sea of roses, virgin landscapes or your favorite drink at the table. It is filled with bits of breadcrumbs, broken glasses and empty seats, gasps and headaches enough to ingest all the aspirin bottles at your local pharmacy. Yeah, it is life alright. We can never dictate it nor discard it but live it. So, ride your horse, pony or rabbit, whatever your heart ‘s content, whatever is inscribed to you at the grocery counter. Count your blessings and mistakes as it is yours to keep but don’t forget to dust, brush aside those feathers, once they become too much to handle and the desert unbearable to cross. It is the story of the great Amen, the gathering at the table, the footprints of what we call life.
