Life a little at a Time Adds Up

I think the way you look at life can determine what brings you happiness. Lots of things bring me happiness, but here are the truly top 5:

1. My Faith in God/Jesus: if you don’t have that as the foundation, you are missing a lot. Faith in the Goodness of God, and that he has my best interests in mind, helps you through so much.
2. Family: this includes blood relatives as well as those non blood relatives I consider family. My mother, brother and niece. My partner and his immediate family. They all mean more to me than they will ever know.
3. My dog, Bentley. He is a rescue, so I never know his true age. We think he is 12. The boy has been with me through thick and thin. He means so much to me.
4. My ring I got for Christmas- it symbolizes commitment. Both of us are from bad marriages, and while we don’t know if we will ever get married, he wanted me to know if we did, it’d be me.
5. Going nowhere rides- there are many times we want to just get out and enjoy the day. So we ride around with nowhere planned to go and just see where the roads take us. We have found some beautiful farmlands, wooded areas, and parks we had no idea existed.

I think you have to look at what you have and choose happiness. It’s so easy in today’s world to be frustrated or angry, but take the time to enjoy and find things that bring you happiness. You’ll be glad you did!
