Find Your Happy Spot

Find your happiness. 
 
Sometimes you have to search and search hard.   Sometimes it seems impossible.

Believe me, I know this is definitely not easy to do when one is faced with a serious illness or any other life's many serious issues that are bound to pop up every now and again. However, I want to share with you that it is laughter which has helped me through so many of life's minor and tragic trials.

So, watch a funny movie, read a funny book, hang out with happy and positive friends, journal about: your ups, your downs, your funny moments; dance, and be silly. Whatever it takes to make yourself smile or laugh, just lift yourself up and do it! Even if that smile is for one moment, it's worth it; and good for your mind, body and soul. Love, Cyd

On grieving ...

 4/14/13  From a post on a friends facebook page today: 

"It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew"
~Henry Rollins~

Especially family :(
 

 "I hear ya on that...family I can lose, they eventually come back...but my best friend...that was very hard to deal with....I never got over it."

This is a Deep and Profound message ...
Let's focus on being Alive ... and cherish all the little things...
And all that we take for granted ... ♥ 

3/12/13 Two quotes on grief:

“Grief can destroy you --or focus you. You can decide a relationship was all for nothing if it had to end in death, and you alone. OR you can realize that every moment of it had more meaning than you dared to recognize at the time, so much meaning it scared you, so you just lived, just took for granted the love and laughter of each day, and didn't allow yourself to consider the sacredness of it. But when it's over and you're alone, you begin to see that it wasn't just a movie and a dinner together, not just watching sunsets together, not just scrubbing a floor or washing dishes together or worrying over a high electric bill. It was everything, it was the why of life, every event and precious moment of it. The answer to the mystery of existence is the love you shared sometimes so imperfectly, and when the loss wakes you to the deeper beauty of it, to the sanctity of it, you can't get off your knees for a long time, you're driven to your knees not by the weight of the loss but by gratitude for what preceded the loss. And the ache is always there, but one day not the emptiness, because to nurture the emptiness, to take solace in it, is to disrespect the gift of life.”
― Dean Koontz, Odd Hours

“You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”
― Anne Lamott
