Happiness

"90% of your long-term happiness is predicted not by the external world, but by the way your brain processes the world."  90%!!

I just watched this TED talk by Shawn Achor for the second time and it has just opened up my psyche.  I am going to take the happiness challenge and write three things I am grateful for for 21 days straight.  So here we go.

1.  My husband.  He is so patient with me.  I couldn't have asked for a more patient man.  He has so many good qualities.  But mostly he is patient.  I love him. 

2.  My children.  My heart swells when I think of how grateful I am for their precious souls entrusted to my care for a time.  What a gift.

3.  The person I talked to on the phone today at my job that told me I helped him so much.  There are good people in the world that throw out pebbles of positivity into the lake of a world we live in.  I'm thankful for those people!
