If you're Happy and you know it....

While I was creating a page in my Art Journal I started to think
How happy am I?  Can you be too Happy?  Isn't that like saying
"Can you be too rich"?   I don't think so...

When I googled the word HAPPY this is what I found.

Happiness- Isn't that the thing we all strive to find and keep?  Nobody is happy all
the time, but some people are definitely more fulfilled than others.  Studies reveal that
happiness has little to do with material goods or high achievement; it boils down to
your outlook on life, and the quality of your relationships.


Growing up my parents were very happy and content people.  I remember my
mom waking us up for school everyday saying "Rise and Shine its a beautiful day"
I used to think she was a crazy lady.  Who wakes up that happy.
Now that I am older I still don't wake up that happy.  I have to have my
 couple cups of coffee before my brain can even start to think happy thoughts.

Here is another page in my Art Journal..

I wasn't going to show this page cause the journaling was

a bit personal.  So I played with it in photoshop so I could share it with you.

So sorry about the blacked out words.

Here is a quote that I just love. I find it to be so true. 

I strive at trying to be my authentic self and I find when I compare my

self to others is when I am never good enough.

There is always going to be someone richer and prettier, more creative,

funnier, etc..   So I try not to compare myself to others.

 Instead I look to others for inspiration.

And there sure is a lot of inspiration out here in blogland.

So if you're happy and you know it shout hooray.. 

Hugs~
