Mood: frustrated a tad
So instead of getting to bed early as we have a shopping spree planned, here I sit, still wide awake at 2:30 am, sigh. This will certainly put a damper on getting up early and out the door.
Oh well, no use in making things worse. Just have to deal with it the best we can, and see what the day brings.
So maybe I'll try a game of canasta and then try sleeping again. Wish me luck :)
Practicing some deep breathing now..
and please feel free to submit some of your own to add to this list :)
Finding happiness is like finding yourself. You don't find happiness; you make happiness. You choose happiness. Self-actualization is a process of discovering who you are, who you want to be and paving the way to happiness by doing what brings YOU the most meaning and contentment to your life over the long run.
This definition of happiness by David Leonhardt, The Happy Guy
True happiness is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
This famous quote on happiness by Helen Keller
You will never be happier than you expect. To change your happiness, change your expectation.
This famous happiness quote by Bette Davis
Hope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords.
This quote on happiness by Samuel Johnson
Happiness is man's greatest aim in life. Tranquility and rationality are the cornerstones of happiness.
The meaning of happiness according to Epicurus
"Happiness depends upon achievement of personally significant goals and leading a balanced life."
Michael from Worcestershire, England
"Happiness is the ultimate realization that everything was, and is, exactly as it should be."
Paul from The Netherlands
Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
This happy thought by speaker Og Mandino
Happiness is contagious...when you reflect happiness, and then all others around you catch the happy bug and are happy, too.
This definition of happiness by author Jennifer Leese
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
This definition of happiness by Mahatma Gandhi
Happiness is an inner state of well-being. A state of well being enables you to profit from your highest: thoughts, wisdom, intelligence, common sense, emotions, health, and spiritual values in your life.
This happy thought by Lionel Ketchian.
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
This happy quote by Thich Nhat Hanh
A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.
This happiness quote by Hugh Downs
Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.
This happiness definition by Aristotle
Money can't buy you happiness, but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.
This quote on happiness by Spike Milligan
Happiness ain't a thing in itself--it's only a contrast with something that ain't pleasant.
This definition of happiness by Mark Twain in Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven
Let's define happiness as a feeling of contentment created when all of one's physical, emotional, psychological, intellectual and spiritual needs have been gratified.
This definition of happiness excerpted from 12 Steps 2 Self Esteem
Let me know if you find something awesome~
I am perplexed as to what to do with the colors and I'm in one of those 'woman' modes where I can't make up my mind no matter what I do, lol!
I'll leave it alone until later, and if ya'll want to give me some suggestions, great. If not, you'll hopefully bear with me while I redecorate!
It IS that time of year ya know, smile~
Well then here's a nifty site I just came across that might prove useful to you :)
Listening to: I could not ask for more...
Listening to this song always makes me think of my sweetie, and just brings him right back into my heart of hearts.
I truly could not ask for more in a husband/partner/friend/lover/confidant/goofball~ BIG GRIN~
Wishing you all a very good week. Try not to overstress with the upcoming Holidays. Things will get done. If lists help you, perhaps thats one way to eliminate some stress!
It is very satisifying to cross things to do off a list and to see your accomplishments grow while your things to do lessen.
Smile whenever possible - it also releases stress and tension.
Remember, this is the season of love. Love yourself also!
He's been home with me for 4 whole days now, and I quickly get use to him being here. When I need a cuddle, he's right here. I don't have to wait for hours for him to get home hours later.
We got to go to our church this morning and that was so wonderful. Now that he's working Sundays we haven't been able to go for months. It was soooooooooo good to see everyone. We will get to go again for the Christmas Eve service and Christmas and New Years :).
I didn't eat too many sweets this weekend, but I did manage to eat too much food because I couldn't exercise either... grrrrr.
This week I'll have to be extra careful.
Peace Out~
Do you like having the music videos on this site?
Just trying it out since I love music, but I suppose not everyone does...
I'll go with the overall consensus as I can always listen to music in my Yahoo Messenger also. I will also change the music if you submit a favorite video you'd like on here :)
Keep me informed.
Hugs,
Aly
Mood: love kittens.. :)
Now we consider our cat smart, but this one takes the cake! :)
Please share it with your fellow Internet shoppers, grin~
I hear tomorrow is suppose to be one big day for shopping online~~
Mood: peaceful
How one behaves when others are watching?
How one behaves when seemingly no one is watching?
Character development for young and old is an ONGOING process. One deserving of meditation and determining ones' goals in life.
Have a spectacular Sunday folks! :)
And since did some decorating today, this seemed appropriate too :)

What would it be?
Write it down, and see if it comes to pass.
If it doesn't, don't throw that wish away. It doesn't mean it will never happen. It might just mean the time is not right, grin. You still have more time to give more hints,, hehe!
Have a fun-spirited time of the year. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all keep the spirit in our hearts throughout the year....
Mood: winkin~
The spirit of joy and giving is for people of all ages~
Let us have our hearts in the right place.
Mood: smiling
