Today was a very nice day and I'm so thankful for my day of blessings and love! God really is so very generous and loving! How can I not be happy all the time - I mean, I am still alive and have the chance to live another day spreading this love and happiness that I am blessed with!! Knowing that I might possibly be able to make someone (or multiple someones) smile gives me such an incredible joy!!!
I saw an amazing quote today that I just knew I had to share as part of our Happy today. It's a great way to sum up life:
Life is a roller coaster,
With highs and lows,
With speeds and slows,
With screams and blows,
With dreams and woes...
Just smile and enjoy the ride!
Isn't that just so fantastic?!?! What made this even more incredibly fantastic for me was I was just talking with my coworkers and friends the other day about how much I loved roller coasters and how much I loved the thrill of them. And it really is the perfect metaphor for life. Like a roller coaster - there are some scary moments that sometimes almost make us feel as if we aren't even going to make it out alive! But, those moments usually end up being the most fun and exciting parts!
Have you ever seen the movie Parenthood directed by Ron Howard? It's one of my favorite movies! Well, at one point, Steve Martin's character, Gil, just quit his job and comes home to find out his wife, Karen, played by Mary Steenburgen, is pregnant with their 4th child. Gil and Karen are in the middle of a parent argument (you know, the fighting parents do when kids are around) when Gil's grandma walks in and interrupts them. Here's the clip:
I couldn't agree more with their Grandma! I like the roller coaster too!!
Life is most definitely an incredible Happy when you think of it like this, wouldn't you agree? And this is just another reason I am always so happy and am able to keep a smile on my face 99.9% of the time ;) I love my roller coaster of life and wouldn't stop this ride for anything - I'm so thankful for however long I get!! So, I'd like to share one more quote about life and how it's like a roller coaster before I say goodnight:

So, from here on out, I want all of you to start enjoying your roller coaster of a life and when things start getting scary, don't close your eyes and hide away, throw your hands up and smile because it will be worth it in the end!
On that note, it is time for me to retire! Goodnight and sweet dreams to all of you! Remember, unless you are in Arizona, set your clocks ahead an hour so you can "spring forward" with the time change. Until tomorrow, keep smiling and spreading that love!!
Peace, Love and Happiness!
Karen :)
