I struggle with this everyday. I have heard that even if you don't feel like it smiling can release the same endorphins as if you are really happy.
I have been up to the usual things, but I have felt insecure about writing the last little while. I check in now and then, but I have been a background figure. I also felt guilty about not knitting anything in a while. I was worried I couldn't keep my credentials.
I hope you are well and my heart goes out to you over the recurrent memories of losing a loved one. I am reminded everyday of the people I loved and lost. They shape who we are and it makes sense that we see them everyday in ourselves and the loved ones around us. Be well.
I agree with the premise, but I think it ultimately uses more energy to be miserable!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I get so exasperated by people who wait for "something" to make them happy. Happiness is a choice, not an event.
