Happiness is what matters. Period. The End.

What a week. First of all, I wrapped up one of my biggest events of the year last Saturday! Second, our son was in his high-school play (if you are not familiar with high school musicals, I can only say that 15 hour days leading up to the production is customary)…and third, we’re full steam ahead with planning the wedding! (oh, you may not know about this, but we’ll be hosting a wedding mid-May at our home! More details in a future post!)
Today I had a chance to breathe, to sit for what seemed like a moment and think about what really matters. As a family, we work hard to create a safe, welcoming and accepting home. We talk openly at our dinner table about many topics including religion, sexual orientation, and politics. We laugh, we contemplate each others thoughts and reasoning’s and more than anything else, we listen to and respect each other. Because…well…we’re family.

This week I watched my young adult children form and appreciate their own versions of “family” and carry on our tradition of welcoming and acceptance. From my daughter being welcomed into her best friends family and being kissed on the cheek by “grandma” celebrating her 73rd birthday, to my son sharing heartwarming stories of the bonding of the cast and crew he was able to be a part of.
Happy is not an emotion that all know. I find comfort in knowing that we have given the gift of happiness to our children. They seek it and appreciate it…but first and foremost, they know it.

Because, really, when it comes down to it, happiness is what really matters. How do you find your happy?
Be healthy, be well,
