Happiness is Taking a Break

It’s been over a month since I’ve written about happiness you might have noticed. The holidays brought a bad cold that lingered. Coupled with a book to finish, life became simple.

Take care of me.

Get healthy.

Write.

Happiness is taking a break.

Sometimes that’s all we can do when we’re feeling depleted or stretched. I didn’t feel lots of happiness as I was sick, let me tell you, but I was honoring where I was and not trying to force myself to be where I couldn’t be.

Things slowed down. And that’s okay. There are times when we need to take a break. I find we’ve usually spent so much of our energy with the holidays, traveling, shopping, and then managing family dynamics that we’re all pretty much spent by the time the new year rolls around.

So, this is a simple post. A footstep back to the road of bliss and joy. It’s a quiet intention.

I hope it touches your heart where you are.
