Mind vs. Body

Happiness is a state of mind. This is something that you hear in cards, witty saying books, songs, you name it. And while I do agree with this statement (as shown many times in this blog by my pure enjoyment and happiness from the little things), what happens when you wake up on one of those mornings and your body says - 'Thanks for playing but today, you stay in bed and sleep. We have taken a vote and you are not ready to be out of bed and happy yet."

This was one of those mornings for me and I must admit, I listened...hit the alarm, pushed the dog off the bed and went back to sleep.

There was a time I would have fought that urge, I would have gotten out of bed and been pretty beat down all day because of the blah start but if age has taught me anything, it is when you need an extra 30 minutes to greet the world, TAKE IT. Now, I am in a good mood, the sun is shining and I am ready to face the day with all the excitement (good and bad) that it has in store for me.

So my friends, what are you going to do today to take time and greet the world with a smile instead of a blah? Come on...I know you can do it...
