a little lesson in happiness.

I spent the morning smiling to myself today.

All my life I've had many people that I am such a happy person.

BUT

I've also always had many people tell me that I'm too sad.

So while I admit that I'm an easily to get emotional person,

today I realised that it takes

just the littlest things to make me happy too!

And for that, I am thankful.

But I've also realised today that there's a slight difference between realistic happiness and surreal happiness - but that doesn't apply to everyone and I'll get to that later.

So today I've felt the happiest I've ever felt in quite a while. When it rains, it pours - even when it comes to the good stuff. Last week I had a massive life lesson on growing up and this week, I seem to be getting a lesson on being humble and thankful.

Loads of people out there say that happiness is a choice - and that you get it from within yourself, and that no one else controls your happiness, etc (and all that crap), so I am extra thankful that the reasons I've been happy lately are because of other people.
