"Perhaps if one really knew when one was happy, one would know the things that were necessary for one's life." ~ Joanna Field
How happy are you right now? Do you even know? Most of us knew what makes our parents, partners , or everyone we love happy. But when it comes to an awareness about the little, specific things that bring a smile to our faces and contentment to our own hearts, we often come up short.
What is missing from many of our days is a true sense that we are enjoying the lives we are living. It is difficult to experience moments of happiness if we are not aware of what is we genuinely love. We must learn to savor small, authentic moments that bring us contentment. Experiment with a new cookie recipe. Pause for five minutes to pet a purring cat or a wiggling puppy. Simple pleasures waiting to be enjoyed. Simple pleasures often overlooked.
Let us consider our personal preferences and learn how to recognize, then embrace, moments of happiness that are uniquely our own.
