Day 337

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  I have learned to be happy and it does not have a finish line.  It is a path.  Dr Steve. Maraboli said, "Happiness is a state of mind, a choice, a way of living; it is not something to be achieved, it is something to be experienced."  It is not something made, but a result of my actions.  I used to think,"Oh, I just want to be happy...or...if such and such would happen I would be happy"...so on and so on.  It was something I was chasing, something I was trying to attain.  I thought there was something I had to do to get it.   I have learned that I have to make that choice to be happy.  God has given me so many things to be grateful for, and happy about. I am so blessed. Out of the 100 good things that happen, I used to look at the 5 bad things, and focus on them.  I would let that rule my life.  I wouldn't remember the 95 other good things, that more than weighed out the bad.  So today I choose to be happy.  Have a great day!
