KEY TO HAPPINESS

I woke up this morning with an interesting question for a blog entry. I was wondering, what makes the difference between finding life dull and finding life worth living?

The answer I could come up with,  is in the essence very simple. However, in everyday life, sometimes tricky to stick by .  It is about appreciating what is present in my life.  Instead of mourning about what is missing in my life. That is the golden key to happiness, I think.

If I’m able to hold that key all the time in my hands,  happiness floods my heart.

Apparently, holding on to that key is indeed a challenge every day .

Is it raining cats and dogs and is there mud everywhere, like yesterday, it's so easy to think about missing sunshine.   Are the dogs barking, because there are hunters close by, like this morning, it's so easy to shout:” silence, please!” 

I can go on, with examples like this. But I am more and more aware these days, that looking at events in this way, is me dropping the golden key out of my own hands. 

If I see the pouring rain as a chance, to get some work done indoors.  And if I appreciate the dogs for warning me there are people close by.. All of a sudden, life is filled with gifts and my heart is filled with gratitude and joy.
