Happiness Project Week 17

I hope you found some happiness last week in the simple joy of walking barefoot in the grass. It is a very simple thing to do, yet fills us with a few moments of happiness.

This week is similar and you get to choose which simple things bring you happiness.

Here’s the prompt for this week:

The Happiness Project is 

my way of sprinkling happiness like fairy dust so that we can shift our perspective towards a happier more joyful life. Each Tuesday I will give you a prompt and an affirmation for the week. Use these to guide yourself towards a joyful life filled with gratitude and happiness. Think of it as your own gratitude journal.

Once in a while we’ll do a check-in to see how your happiness is improving, so keep slowly moving towards happiness.

Last week:

Marvelous Margie from https://backroadsandotherstories.com watches out for dog poop as she walks barefoot. And sometimes you have to extend that to goose poop around here. So, watch where you walk. Great point Margie!

Restless Jo https://stillrestlessjo.com/blog/ does a lot of walking. You can find her posts on many beautiful walks around Portugal.

Joyful Jan https://accordingto.me/ stepped into the grass as soon as she read last week’s post. That’s called being dedicated to joy!

Wonderful Wynne did not walk barefoot in the grass, but she did find joy in other aspects of nature. Here’s what Wynne said, “I confess I didn’t do this. We were on the road last week and it just wasn’t in the cards. But I connected to the earth – through the wind, through the water of a clear lake, and through the busy waves of a beach. And I noticed that just that second of awareness of whatever I was paying closer attention to soothed me into its rhythm. Beautiful prompt!”

There are so many ways we can find bits of happiness throughout our day, and when we string them all together like a set of pearls, things really begin to look brighter. Don’t you think?

This week, I wish you some beautiful moments of slow intentional happiness as you continue to celebrate the joy of stillness and find happiness in your own set of pearls that you will string together for yourself.

Let me know what your three things are.
