Here is today's topic.
5. What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now?
I'm a happy person. And it really doesn't take a lot to make me happy. It's not the material things that make me the happiest!! Keep reading...
1. I can honestly say that right now my relationship with my family and friends make me happy. I have two wonderful children, a supportive mom, and plenty of extended family members who I love unconditionally. I also have a great church family, and quite a few close friends who I know would be there for me no matter what.
2. My job makes me happy! I am so blessed to work where I do. It is so rewarding to be able to help clients turn a negative situation into something more positive after 28 short days. I have a supportive and caring boss and co-workers. For the past three years, I have felt like I've worked for one big family. It also makes me happy to have flexible hours. And the fact that I work 2 minutes from home definitely puts a smile on my face!
3. Mentoring at-risk youth definitely makes me happy. I am SO glad that I became involved with our church's camp called Seeds of Hope. Working with children in different life circumstances makes me see just how easy my own life is. I always count my blessings more after working with these children. It is a very rewarding way to spend my time. I can't wait until camp next month. I'll be working as our youth director. Even though I'll have a lot more responsibility, I can't wait to rise to the challenge. At the end of the week, I know I'll be happy with my accomplishment.
4. I'm happy for the basic things in life that are so easily taken for granted. For example, air conditioning...hot water for a shower in the morning, electricity, a home phone that works--all of these things make me happy. I would be quite miserable without them. I'm also happy that I can afford a nice mobile phone, that I drive a decent car, and I live in a safe neighborhood. Some people aren't as fortunate as I am. I'm able to provide for myself and my two children. We have everything we need and most of what we want. I'm not bragging, but I know that there are so many people all around the world who don't have what we have. So even though I'm not a materialistic person, I do enjoy the things that make my life easier. Easy=happy.
5. I'm happy because despite all of my many shortcomings, I know that I have a God in my life who loves me no matter what. Unconditional love. That is the coolest thing ever, and it's what gives me peace. I'm happy that I have a strong faith. He is there each and every step of the way. God is good!
