It was a wonderful Passover and Easter weekend. We had a ton of fun. So many things made me happy. I worked hard, I played hard, I napped lots and ate well. But it came down to the socks.
I was reading one of those articles about the 8 things to do to make you happy. Lots of the usual "don't sweat the small stuff", "apologize", "forgive yourself", etc. and two of the points were to make the choice to be happy and to have gratitude. I read this all the time and think "YES, do these things right now" and then move on to th next Facebook post and forget.
But tonight I applied them. I looked down at my socks as I was getting ready for bed and smiled. I caught glimpses of my socks all day today and they kept making me happy. So I focused on them as I got ready for bed.
I chose to really feel the happiness that the socks bring me and gratitude for having the money to buy the socks and wash the socks and a drawer to store the socks and healthy legs and feet to wear the socks. And while all this was going on I started thinking about the weekend as a whole and how much fun it was and how happy I was. And I just kept smiling and now I feel so awesomely good.
My socks made me happy! Happy Passover! Happy Easter!
What made you happy this holiday weekend?
