Day 3
Sometimes trying to find happiness in everyday life is like looking for a needle in a haystack. That needle can be overlooked when tedious tasks abound or can be simply overshadowed by one careless remark which begins the downward spiral. Yet, when one looks hard enough for an object or simply searches for it from different angles, one can be surprised at how brightly it gleams in the sunlight. The secret, of course, is adjusting one's perspective. Today as I took one of my twin's to one of his many therapy appointments, I looked down at him and thought about how much I love him. I felt his hand in mine and was struck by the soft, smallness of it. At that moment, I stopped, bent down, looked him in the eyes, and told him I loved him. As he stared back into my eyes and said "I love you Mommy.", my heart filled with joy, and I thought, "Yes, all of this is worth it."

There is Happiness around you all the time, just need to look for it. Usually we (humans) have attendance to ignore the happiness that we are surrounded and looking for something usually out-reachable for most of us. And if you don't get it, you consider yourself unhappy and depressed and start your anti-depressing pill diet. This is wrong way to live. Happiness is all the time next to you, just open your eyes.
