Balloons Make Me Happy and ...

(Written: April 03, 2021)

Greetings and much love! Lately this last week I kept hearing from my inner voice, and some say it is the Divine, God speaking. No doubt true. The few simple words were, “This makes me happy.” I meditated and asked why this phrase? And then I would see something and say yes, this makes me happy! Or I would remember something, feel something, eat something or whatever I am doing, it would tie into happiness. I believe that what I was connecting with was the fact that as we move in and about on our life’s journey that our human part of us dwells on the negative thoughts that lowers our frequency, driving our very being to get stuck in the mire that holds us there resulting into anger, sadness and complaining on things that we as a spiritual being can make changes. Lifting us up to be alive and awake in the ever flowing love of the Universe. There is a part of our being that already knows this; it is just taking the time out to Remember it. You and I are already members of this Divine essence that is always a huge part of us. We sometimes let our life stray down a path that is not seems not so good in the moment, but when we awake to this, we can learn from it and make that path a new destination to our greater good already happening. So thus it is called, Re-membering, Re-joining our membership that is always our Divine right of consciousness already. Never separate or exclusive. So, for myself I now find myself going about my day smiling and turning my thoughts of little or big things that make me happy. Like seeing a hawk sore, snacking on something fun and good, hearing or reading uplifting news or stories, a hug, connecting with co-workers and laughing and making it fun, my cat Galaxy and his precious ways, smiles, great weather, finding money even if it is just a penny, a romantic love, blessing someone from afar or just telling someone they are appreciated. So many things, yes.

Now, here are a few quotes I gathered and you may have already heard, yet I want to share.

“There is no path to happiness: Happiness is the path.” ~ Gautama Buddha

“Don’t think too much. Just what makes you happy.”

“If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone.” ~ Buddha. (This quote reminds me … and I have written before, “To be alone is to be Al One.”)

“The secret to living well and longer is: eat half, walk double, laugh triple and love without measure.” ~ Tibetan Proverb

So my sweet friend, I ask you this simple question. What makes you happy? Think about it and know there are so many things in life that is happiness. Even the events or things that may not seem happy at the moment, but turn out to be so. One example, yes it is sad at the moment to see a loved one, including our pets make their transition from this life to the next. Leaving us only with many thoughts that hurts our heart. Normal for the moment I understand. Yet, when we turn inward and remember those times we shared with these beautiful beings, those are the happy thoughts. Those are the things making us happier and we not only lift our soul and being, but in fact lifts theirs also. So, it is possible to turn an upside down smile to a right side smile truly. I leave you with this last parable or story to ponder.

You may come to a point to say as this woman did.

“I want happiness.”

Buddha replies, “Just remove “I”, that is ego.

Then remove “want” that’s desire.

See, now you are left only with “Happiness.”

Happiness dear one is already within your very fabric and it is never excluded from you. With that, Happiness is always another part of Love. This writing and my others always makes me happy and I am humbled to be a little part of your awakening, and encouraging you to remember who you already and always will be. Embracing your heart this day.

Peace and Abundant Blessings always.
