Happiness is......

There is nothing in the world quite like being awoken before 6am by the bedroom light being flipped on, your husband frantically writing something on a piece of paper, giggling, and then saying, "I'm writing a new song! It's your Think Thankfully song." Yes folks, that is how my morning got started today! And truthfully, there is nothing quite like being married to a musician.

When I say musician, I do not mean a garage band, Bon Jovi wanna-be musician. I mean honest to Pete, plays the guitar, sings, songwriting, former recording artist, amazingly talented musician. Yup! That is my honeyman! My night last night ended with him lying in bed watching all kinds of YouTube videos, strumming his guitar, explaining to me why 'so and so' is a fabulous musician. My response to him was that I saw no difference in them than what I see in my husband when he is at a gig, doing what makes his heart happy. I think I may have flattered him a little bit with that one, but it was the honest to Pete truth!

Happiness is defined as a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. To Linus van Pelt, happiness is a warm blanket. To my husband, happiness is anytime he is making music. To me, happiness is my life....my day to day living. Happiness is a choice! Lately that has been the theme of my interactions, the theme of my days. I've been reminded on so many occasions lately that happiness is yours for the choosing. I truly think people believe that it just happens. It doesn't. You really have to work on being a happy person. You have to be content in your world, happy with how life is going despite all the speed bumps in the road. 

Happiness is being married to a musician, being sung to in the middle of the night, having songs written about your Think Thankfully philosophy, having two healthy amazing daughters, the many people I call my friends, my new job, waking up in the morning, LIFE!  Choose to be happy!

I can't wait to hear my song later.......
