Be Happy

So what if I didn’t get all six numbers from last week’s MegaMillions drawing.

Today, I’m going to celebrate the sunshine finally peeking through the window this morning after days of non-stop rain.

I’m going to enjoy that first sip of coffee in the morning to instantly reassure me, “Okay, let’s get this day going.”

Yup, I plan to use all the “crying-laughing” emojis and memes as much as I want today.

I’ll laugh my head off while scrolling through goofy #funny Facebook reels or let out an “Aaawwwww” at all those #cutenessoverload Instagram reels.

I’m going to watch back-to-back episodes of “The Office” and “Modern Family”.

My heart will feel full as I scroll through my phone’s camera roll – to see my daughter’s beautiful smile during spring prom and her high school graduation, my husband’s selfie with his best buddies with the March Madness backdrop, and our beautifully plated wedding anniversary dinner at a Michelin star restaurant.

Although a reservation at a Michelin star restaurant is such a treat, our Crockpot pot roast for dinner is always comforting on a cold winter night.

Our 2015 Toyota Rav4 is still in good running condition and takes us from point A to point B without any problems.

Although five family members came down with COVID this past year, none of them seem to have experienced lingering side-effects.

Our home, although it can use some renovations here and there, continues to provide us comfort when there’s an excessive heat warning, frost advisory or winter storm warning.

Sure, winning millions from the state lottery would be amazing. But I bet everything I have in my life right now feels exactly the same as winning the Mega Millions drawing.

Have a great day celebrating International Day of Happiness!
