Every day, there seems to be a "How To" article crossing my path on how to find happiness, create happiness, or just be happy! Just now I read how lemonade can make you happy! (the scent of lemons is suppose to trigger a brain chemical that lifts your levels of feed-good hormones and suppresses stress hormones).
Happiness is a choice and I recite this to my daughter all the time. (Her little sister annoys her which makes the elder one angry ALL THE TIME). We can allow things to make us miserable or we can find the silver lining in each situation and choose happiness. Granted, it's sometimes difficult to choose happiness but it is always OUR CHOICE.
What's that saying, "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade"? As much as I love lemonade, I'd be sick of it if I drank it 24/7 for a continuous supply of happiness. There is almost always something to be grateful for in each situation. Find that reason and be happy.
