My Story

I think about the past and I hope that my future will be more like my happy past times I've had over the years. Recently it hasn't been very happy in my life but I am working hard to make some new happy memories one day.

I know it might sound trite but I think the old saying about happiness being a choice is true, it's a matter of reframing something and finding the positive in it and being mindful when it's happening. I think it's a learned skill for a lot of us and something we have to be aware of and practice continually and not a one and done. I also never realized how powerful gratitude can be for our happiness.

I agree! I like it like that

I often feel similar to that too. I once had a professional career coach. It was really all about reframing situations
