Searching for Seven Moons

The sky a strand of smoky pearls around the neck of a movie starlet. Once a full moon - now less than its former self - glows like a seashell washed upon the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. Stillness blankets the earth against the cool morning mist. The dew is a silence covering the footpaths. On the Eastern horizon the orange lights have missed their calling this frosty morning.

Happiness today.

1. I am happy it is such a lovely day.

2. I am happy for a day off.

3. I am happy for all that I will accomplish this wonderful day.

Finding Happiness

Happiness is subjective - objective or darn hard to find and capture. We have to work to even get close to happiness. Happiness is subtle, humble and can be found in the most unique places in our lives. Happiness can be elusive, so one must run the golden mile to catch it.

At times I feel like I am in a marathon and have not been practicing. I have no coach so I plunder through life trying to reach my goals that have become transparent or miles from the tips of my fingers. And this morning the fingers are feeling arthritic.

So still searching for the holy grail I count my happiness blessings.

Three reasons to be happy today!

1. It was not my turn to clean up the dog poop on the kitchen floor. (and the mystery is -how did that happen?)

2. I can use my two and a half hours of comp time this morning for missing work - yet again.

3. Today is the last day of school before Spring Break, yahoo!

If you look at your life there is so much to be happy about. If Nemo can find his way back home - I can find happiness in my everyday world.
