2010 will be a happier year.
Considering the amount of time I spend thinking and reading about happiness (and, I hate to admit, telling other people why they should be happy) , I ought to feel much happier than I do.
I am content most days---and contentedness is more than enough. I no longer have a problem with being "just content" because I've felt less than that before.
However, I've also felt more.
I feel my life is a bit unbalanced and out of sorts right now. Unsettled, that's a good word to describe it. So unsettling is this feeling, this anxiety, in fact, that it physiologically manifests itself as a very uncomfortable aching of the bottom of my heart. If I watch TV or eat, it goes away. :) If I pay attention to it, it worsens and creeps up to my throat.
Anyway, I hope to make 2010 a happier year! I sincerely hope we all do. Let me know if you sign up, too!
And just as a reminder (to myself)---YOU create your own happiness; nothing and no one can make you happy.
