Thought for the day
What do we really see in others?
We think we can quickly see the faults of another person. The interesting thing is that these are often the same faults we don't notice in ourselves. An annoying habit or trait in another person is often something we cannot tolerate in ourselves. The next time you notice someone is annoying, look into yourself. Are you perhaps mirroring something in yourself to other people so you could give words and structure to that characteristic? If so, what does this teach you?
Picture of the day
When you write Happiness Journals you have lots of uplifting stuff to read when gloomy mood hits you.
This is a quick sketch I made some years ago. Obviously, as I love books, this is about loving reading (and writing) them. But this picture can also represent the Happiness Journals I have written along the way. Notebooks, side notes in diaries, little sticky notes...My Happiness Journal / Happy Journals -products
Daily Funny
One day I saw a mother and her little son of about 3 years of age at a local mall.
The mother was pointing at a big flowerpot. "Look! Can you see that?" she asked.
I could see what she was pointing at. A little spider was weaving a net between two leaves. The little boy looked clapped his hands and yelled: "Spiderman!"
Do you have a funny story you would like to see published in this letter? An event, what someone said? If so, send me your funny story.
(I especially love the funny things children say!).
Today's Happiness
Today's happy little detail for me are the small washi-butterflies I can decorate my journal with.
What made you happy today? Tell the others as well!
