I often hear people remark “this or that would make me happy” but will it really make you happy or will it provide comfort? Things do not make us happy, shopping does not make us happy, food does not make us happy, even people do not make us happy. These things do provide comfort though. I catch myself saying it sometimes too. The other day I said “A chocolate brownie would make me so happy.” I quickly retorted with “No, it will not make me happy, I am already happy, but it will provide some comfort right now to my sweet tooth!”
We all know how powerful words are and people talk themselves into believing that they need things to make them happy because they are using the wrong words. Using the right words can help us remember that we ARE happy but as humans we also love to enjoy comforts. So today, use the proper words, don’t give happiness credit to things that are just providing comfort, choose happiness and Live Inspired Now!

We got home last night from our vacation; we had an amazing time with the entire family down on the beach in Outer Banks, North Carolina! Now that I am home, I realize I need a vacation from the vacation! lol. We had so much fun and did so many things that today, I plan to spend the entire day in rest. A day to reflect and enjoy all the memories of the past week. To think about the interesting conversations that I had with family. To smile and wonder how that kite didn’t launch me right off the beach! So many fond moments and I just want to spend the day in quiet gratitude and reflection! So today, or soon… take a vacation from your vacation, spend the day reflecting on your family vacation or your summer fun and Live Inspired Now!
