I’m not sure how many more of these Wednesday Roundups I’m going to continue to do. I’m trying to stay away from social media, but I keep coming back to it…for extended periods of time. So, alas, I have racked up enough Instagram saved posts to give you five standouts.
As I was going through said posts recently, I noticed that there was a theme of sorts: it was mostly stuff about being happy or things that make me happy — so basically quotes and food. And it just got me to thinkin’ as I sometimes do, about what it means to be happy.
I think happiness is fleeting. It’s not meant to stay. It comes it bursts, it comes it spurts and then it goes away to come back at another time, another day.
So yeah, just a thought.
A little life update while I’m at it, while I have you…I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to get a job. I was really hoping for something like me selling a million books, or hell even selling just enough that I don’t have to go back to work immediately, but alas, my book isn’t even published, and doesn’t even have cover art yet — more about that later. But the good news is I’ve found a couple of jobs that I’d really liked to have, so I’m going to go after them pretty hard, like harder than I did the other ones and, well, we’ll see. Oh, I also gained four of the five pounds I lost back. And the elliptical that I bought didn’t work, so I’m sending it back. Perhaps I’ll go into more detail about all of this in Sunday’s post.
But for now, I’m chasing happy, I caught that little sucker and I’m holding on tight before it inevitably evaporates. And when it does, it’s okay, because I’m irresistible so it never stays away too long.
Let’s do this…
This was interesting. I’m pretty much at the opposite end of the continuum of what he is talking about. I have no relationship, no kids, no money, no job and very little in the way of material things — all those things that he has obtained but ultimately did not find happiness in them. Sometimes I think that’s one of my superpowers, finding happiness in just being me. Like I said, that shit is fleeting, but sometimes it stops by and sometimes I go pick it up. Anyway, I just liked what Will Smith is saying here.
A whole mood.
I’m no vegan, but this looks like a dish that would make me happy!
Have I told you that I’m into interior design? I love a galley kitchen, an enclosed kitchen. Not at all into the open concept that’s been in for the last 10 years or so. This kitchen is just so cute!
Because happiness sometimes results from being petty. I love when this happens.
Welp, I guess that was a little more than food and quotes.
Three cheers to happy!
Until next time…
