Let the Good Times Roll! When Happiness and Good Times Return
Happiness
Relish Your Good Fortune
Sometimes when you've been down so long you don't even remember what it feels like to be up. But sometimes--when you least expect it--happiness and good times show up on your doorstep. Then what? How do you act? What do you do?
Good Times
How to Act when Happiness and Good Times Return
Don't chastise them for being late--and don't call them liars and send them away again. Instead, treat Happiness and Good Times as honored guests--welcome to stay as long as they'd like.
Treat Happiness and Good Times as honored guests--welcome to stay as long as they'd like.
Take them for long walks through town to reacquaint them with your environment. Dress them up and show them off to everyone you meet. Let them shine.
Take them out with friends and loved ones to welcome them home. Share their sparkle and let their fairy dust sprinkle on those you love.
Share the sparkle of happiness and good times with loved ones.
Sit quiet and let them whisper words of love and encouragement in your ear. Trust them to speak truth to you, and then help them build a soft nest to rest in your heart. Thank them for coming home to roost.
Let happiness and good times whisper words of love and encouragement.
Leave the Door Open for Happiness
If you've been down so long you don't remember how to feel good, leave the door open for happiness and good times to return. Keep a positive expectation for the good times to show up.
Leave the Back Door Open for Sorrow, Grief, Anger and Misery to Go
When you've been living with misery for so long it can be hard to give it up. But don't be tempted to continue wallowing in it when your moments of happiness return. Willingly wade into the good times instead.
There's a lot to make us all miserable right now. So it's even more important that we welcome those moments of happiness and good times when they show up. Let go of the false belief that you must remain miserable during these times.
Don't let the false lure of guilt about letting go of your miserable feelings take you in.
When you share your happiness, you bring others with you. Feel good about bringing a bit of hope and lightness to others. That's how we'll all make it through the dark times.
Keep a green tree in your heart
and perhaps a singing bird will come.
Chinese Proverb
Build a soft nest in your heart for happiness and good times to reside.
Thank you happiness and good times for coming home to roost!
