life is full of challenges, and joy.  re~minding yourself that happy matters every day keeps you not only noticing more things that bring happy into your life but also giving yourself permission to let that happy in, without feeling "guilty" or that you might not deserve it because of your challenges.

i started saying happy matters over a decade ago. i didn't know what true happiness felt like until i was 41 years old. sometimes it can be hard to hold onto good feelings. living with chronic pain and sleep deprivation it's easy to feel sad, bad, sorry for yourself. living through flares, coping with other people's disappointments... all weigh down a person.

by re~minding yourself that happy matters you feel less guilty laughing at a joke while you're struggling, or "forgetting" that you have bills to pay for 90 minutes while you enjoy a good movie. there is no do-over, you don't get an extra man at 100k points. this is it. one life. a finite set of days and you have no idea when they run out. no matter what you're going through, you can still let some happy in. it's ok. give yourself permission to love yourself enough to enjoy at least some of life cuz whether you're miserable or happy, the time still passes and you don't get it back.

i encourage you to look for happy, its literally everywhere, in things big and small. bits of happy add up to help you make it through. like little happiness vitamins.

love,

Dawn
