Keep your eyes, mind and heart open... Always!

Good Morning my Happy clan!  How is everyone doing this beautiful Tuesday morning?  I'm feeling quite awesome!  Woke up to my Matty giving me a bunch of kisses goodbye as he was heading out to work (*swoon*), I witnessed an incredible sunrise with Matt as I walked him out (my sis said it was due to the Sun and Mars being aligned) and I'm currently writing a Happy for all of you as I'm happily hanging with my Johnny and Dukey (I love having days off with my boys!!)!  So, my day is off to a wonderful start :)

What makes today even better is that today I woke up with a feeling of relief... In fact, the past few days I've been feeling less and less stress on my shoulders.  I've also been noticing a lot of positive messages being sent my way and I know it's God giving me His strength in His own special way of reaching me!  We all get these messages sent to us, we just don't always notice them.  But, you can notice them - you just have to pay attention.  These messages are sent to us in all different forms: songs, pictures that remind you of specific, meaningful lyrics, a kind word from a friend, a smile from a stranger, an unexpected call from a friend and list goes on and on!

Today's Happy I want to share with you some of the special happy messages I've received in the past few days.  I guarantee they'll bring some positivity and happiness to your lives as well :)

1. We'll start off with a song.  Now, I'm sure we've all heard this song - and I'm sure we've all heard it many times, however, I almost always tend to hear this song when I'm having a rough day and no matter what is going on, it always brings a smile to my face and hope to my heart!  And I hope that from now on, it does the same for you!!  The song is Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles.
   
   
   
   

   
   
2. The next is a picture I was able to capture the other day while standing on my mom's back deck.  It was dusk and the sun was setting quite beautifully, but a cloud caught my eye.  It was a very small cloud but it was glowing almost brighter and more colorful than the rest of the sky.  And this cloud was in the shape of a heart!  Almost immediately I heard the voice of Littlefoot's Mother (from The Land Before Time)...
   

   

   "Let your heart guide you.  It whispers, so listen closely."
   

   
   
3. This next one is actually something I just managed to notice, one that I probably wouldn't have normally seen but I somehow did.  It had been an extremely long day, things weren't going my way at all.  It seemed as if no matter how hard I tried nothing was working out properly.  I had decided that after work I was going home, giving my boys a kiss goodnight and going right to bed so that I could try again the next day.  As I was leaving work, I turned on my radio and it was the end of a commercial.  It was a gentleman finishing his sentence, and the ending of it simply said, "it gets better."   I looked up and immediately said a Thank You to God for that simple reminder, smiled and headed home with a much more upbeat feeling!
   
4. And I'm going to end with another picture taken this morning.  In fact, I already mentioned the picture I'm about to share in my beginning paragraph.  It's a picture of the sunrise this morning.  As I was sitting outside staring - well, on and off so as not to burn my eyeballs ;) - at the sun, the song Red Rubber Ball popped in my head, but just one specific part kept repeating over and over again...
   

   
   And I think it's gonna be alright.  Yeah, the worst is over now!  The morning SUN is shining like a Red Rubber Ball!!!!!

   
   
   

So, there you have it - your morning and now early afternoon Happies!  Now, go enjoy your day and until later, keep smiling and spreading that love!!

Peace, Love and Happiness!

Karen :)
