Thoughts on HAPPINESS :-)

Lately I’ve had the most amazing feeling of satisfaction and just pure fulfillment...and I've realized that no matter what I can always feel this way considering how I am in constant control over my emotions. Most of the time during winter (especially when it’s snowing so often, like now) I just feel lonely, isolated and just out of control of my life. It’s almost like the weather controls me…But I’ve learned to see the beauty in everything.
Yesterday I looked out my window and saw the trees covered in snow, and every branch looked so defined and beautiful- it was almost as it the tree was made of snow. For a moment, I felt like I was living IN a snow globe! I couldn’t help but feel safe in that beautiful surrounding. I felt so small, yet really big at the same time. So I went outside for a bit and just listened to the silence...and the world just felt so at peace...which made me feel completely relaxed and calm.
I guess I’ve just realized that life is too short to reject anything that is given to us, and we should never take anything for granted- even the things that may not seem so great. Everything has its beauties. And we need to learn to remember that wherever we are, it is exactly where we are meant to be. Plus, it's amazing to know that if we feel lost and empty, all we need to do is take a deep breath, get back in contact with ourselves and we’ll feel full again. After all our biggest strength comes from inside.
I got an application on my ipod that gives me quotes everyday…ironically enough today’s was
“There is nothing left to you at this moment but to have a good laugh”
and the final quote I'll leave you with comes from the amazing Dave Matthews:
"eyes closed we're gonna spin through the stars, our arms wide as the sky, we gonna ride blue...all the way to the end of the world, to the end of the world"
There is nothing stopping you from living the life you've always dreamed of.
