Thanks for all of the kind words about my happy challenged holiday.
 
I’ve found a bit of my holiday happy by decorating — albeit later than usual. My house resembles homes in a Hallmark movie. I’ll do a video tour soon. I’m also being social and travelling a bit. It’s helping me find that holiday spark which makes me smile and grin.
 
I’m not going to pretend sometimes I have to make myself get started or show up but once I do I’m genuinely happy in those moments. Sometimes happiness is lots of moments that you can string together.
 
Sometimes when we try something new, we discover new happy moments.
 
For example, I started meeting a group of friends for a Friday happy hour. I’d declined previous invites because I didn’t think I’d enjoy going. But knowing I need to try some new things I decided to go one Friday, then the next and now I look forward to it. It’s becoming part of my new Friday normal and it’s sparking a few smiles.
 
Is there anything new you can try to see if it sparks a few happy moments?

Your mission should you choose to accept it this week is to:

Remember Your Blessings
 
In the midst of all of the holiday hoopla find moments to pause and acknowledge the blessings that are already in your life.
 
Counting your blessings is one way to spark a little holiday happy.
 
I like to write mine down on a piece of paper with a pen or marker.
Studies show it helps us retain what we write. 

It took me longer than usual, but I finally got my tree decorated.

I just love sitting on my sofa looking at it brighten the room and watching my Christmas Hallmark movies.
