ESCAPE THE ORDINARY
Happiness should be easy, like gliding on a calm sea with the wind gently blowing through our hair, sweet perfumed air that smells like salt spray and bonfires, and the feeling of not wanting for any darn thing. But if you’re over the age of five, you know just how elusive happiness can be. Sometimes we have to work at it, and sometimes we don’t quite get there. But oh, when we do, look out. The endorphins kick in, in the middle of a run, in the middle of the night, in the middle of a long workday, and we are unstoppable. Problems? We’ll solve them. Need love? Come right over here and let us give you a hug. Feeling blue? Let us give enough of ours away so your blues turn to sunshine.We inherently know what makes us happy; we just have a tendency to forget. Sunshine (vitamin D is our jam). Blue skies, sunsets, even rainy days have their charm. Seeing ourselves through the eyes of the ones we love the most. Nailing that full lotus pose in yoga class. Singing in the car at the top of our lungs to our favorite playlist in the middle of a traffic jam that we barely notice. It’s like this: One day the world is bleak and bare, the next it’s exploding with blooms in full color HD, and it amazes us, leaves us breathless, reminds us that happiness is within reach whenever we need it. Every. Single. Time.
“It is astonishing how short a time it takes for very wonderful things to happen.” Frances Hodgson Burnett
