Simplify our life

Sometimes we can get so caught up in the mechanics and rush of living our life that we forget to MAKE time to relax and enjoy it. That’s when we need to find ways to simplify some of the things we do….maybe even eliminating a few of the stress causers and heavy social activities that demand our time and zap our energy. Life should be filled with joy, so we need to take the time to slow down and really see and appreciate all the beauty that surrounds our life.

The word "Happiness"

(see the January 18th post)

HAPPINESS is....enjoying; marked by great pleasure. (according to the dictionary).

How many of the things in life do we thoroughly enjoy? What value do we give to each of these things that we enjoy? I am using the word things in a very broad sense. Do we feel that these things bring us happiness? And what level of happiness do they bring....momentary, for a day or week or a month, or longer.. say years? And here is the big test of happiness....will it bring Eternal joy and happiness? What could possibly bring us this Eternal (forever.. without end) joy and happiness? I will let you think about that and ponder and meditate on it.

Maybe you could make a list of all the things that bring you joy and happiness...then rate each one on a scale of 1-10. Ten being the most happiness. I expect “family” to be on your list!
