I had a good visit with my counselor today. During part of the session, we talked about being happy. Since then, I've been thinking about happiness and other emotions. In my book, I write about a nurse (who should not have been diagnosing me) who said I was depressed. She actually tried to talk me into depression. What a crock!
Sure, there are times I feel sad. But mostly I'm happy. I never took the broken back too seriously. Although it does impact my life (a lot!) and it's even my main focus at times, the pain doesn't make me sad. If anything, it makes me mad (angry) at times. I'm mad I hurt. I'm not sad I hurt.
I'm just a happy person -- one who has to think about stuff to get angry. Stupid people can anger me. Healthcare reform can anger me because I think the current push is reforming the wrong stuff (or actually stuff in the wrong order). But, healthcare is another story. Red tomatoes with no bugs in my garden makes me happy. Moonglow flowers (that bloom at night) make me happy. Thinking about being a grandmother (due mid-December) makes me happy. Making bread mades me happy. Lots of little things.
I'm happy a lot more than I am sad or mad and that makes me happy! Have a happy day!
