Are you happy?

Happiness, gladness or joy is a mental or emotional state of well-being defined by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happiness


Sometimes life is overwhelming.

Sometimes there aren't enough hours in the day, days in the week, or even weeks in the month.

I constantly feel like I am always on the move. That I always have something to do and somewheres to be.

The other day, while talking to a friend on the way to work, she asked me; "Megan, are you happy." I thought about it. All of a sudden this feeling of emotion come over me; this feeling of happiness.

Things that I was dreading, all of a sudden weren't so bad and I couldn't stop smiling.

The feeling continued throughout the day. I went to work, came home, went and taught both of my classes and I couldn't get the smile off my face. It's like a switch was flipped. I had been tired. I had felt like I was dragging and then all of a sudden I couldn't stop feeling this burst of energy.

Somewhere in the craziness of working 40 hours a week and teaching 9 classes on top of it, I forgot that I needed to be happy and have fun. You know that advice from Ben and Jerry- if its not fun why do it. I hope over the course of the next few weeks that I can continue to have fun and remember to be happy.

Life is what you make of it. Always has and always will be.
