In asking the kids what one wish they would use if they had a genie, There were many answers: Unlimited wishes, all the money in the world, etc. I sat there and wondered what is the purpose of these wishes, or the ones we have in our hearts everyday? The one thing that I kept coming back to after asking Why, Why, Why was to be happy/loved. So I told the kids that why wish for all those things in the search of it when I can just wish/work on being happy. Im tired of the chase. Im tired of saying When this or After that THEN I will be happy. My choice is to start now. With my broken little single-mom family. With my living pay check to pay check. With my goals, my regrets, my worries and my not good enoughs running in the back of my mind. Everyday I am going to wake up and look for why I am blessed. Because someday it will all go away. My kids will leave, my future spouse will die, money will disappear, my health will deteriorate, my job will no longer need/want me, and my belongings will be passed on to whoever claims my body. All I really have in the end is me, and my relationship with God. So really why keep wishing when I can have that happiness now. Saw this online a long time ago and have saved it, hoping to live by it- Remember the five simple rules to be happy: 1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive. 2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen. 3. Live simply and appreciate what you have- Gratitude. 4. Give more.- Love. 5. Expect less from people but more from yourself. -Be You.
