Being Happy

I like being happy. I much prefer to be happy over any other feeling. It's easier to be happy than not to be. So it's important to fill your days with at least one thing that makes you happy. A hot bubble bath. A glass of wine. A walk on a sunny Fall day. Seeing friends. You get my drift.

A friend of mine has recently become single as well, after her 11 year relationship came to an end at the end of August. I met Carmen through my friend Heather, a few years back. I would see Carmen at special functions Heather would be hosting, or on one of our girls night out dinners. We have always clicked so I was completely and totally delighted when she sent me an invite a few weeks back to a party she was having. I hadn't seen her in MONTHS so I was looking forward to reconnecting with her. Which we did! So this past Wednesday we had a date :)

I went over to her place armed with mussels to steam and scallops to sear. She was ready with the most delicious array of meats, cheese, olives and of course....... wine!!!!! It was such a great night. A night that I really needed to have. It was wonderful to speak to someone who knows exactly where I'm at and how I feel..... she's there too.

I was telling her how I like to do a minimum of one nice thing a day..... I told her about how I have dance parties with myself at home..... so that's what we did! I played my latest dance party songs and we danced around her living room with our wine and it was awesome!!!!

I left her place feeling really happy. More importantly, I'm still happy. A feeling in which I love..........
