Happiness

So I have heard that happy people are healthier, live better and have less stress. Hmmmm, could that be true, all you have to do is be happy, not think negative thoughts and you could feel better and have less stress. If that is all it takes, I have to give it a try. Not that I am not a happy person, but I do have my moments. My husband would tell you I have a lot of those moments, but this is not about him.
I thought I would start this morning. I woke up and thought wow it is going to be a great day filled with happy thoughts, until I realized I woke up almost 40 minutes late. But no that is not going to ruin my day of happy thoughts. I can make up the time. I just have to feed my screaming 4 month old, get breakfast made for my 5 year old, and get us all dressed and ready to be out the door in less than 2o minutes. Not a problem, still thinking my happy thoughts.
OK so my son was late for school. Not a big deal, still thinking those happy thoughts. Next is food shopping with my 4 month old, off we go to the super market. Get a cart, put my son and his car seat in the cart. Start food shopping. Half way through my little guy starts flipping out. Not a big deal all babies cry, still thinking happy thoughts. Finally finish shopping, get to the check out and realize I don't have my wallet and no money in my pocketbook. OK hold it together not that bad, keep thinking those happy thoughts.
Go home get money, go back to food shopping, all the time my 4 month is throwing a fit, now because we are late for a feeding. Not a big deal, still thinking those happy thoughts. Finally get home, get a call from my son's school, forgot to give him his lunch and he is flipping out. OK, get lunch and bring it to school. Not a problem, still thinking happy thoughts.
Finally get home, feed the baby, change the baby, baby pees all over me and the wall. Not a big deal, still trying hard to think happy thoughts.
My husband calls from work to see how my day is going and I tell him I am doing good, thinking my happy thoughts. He says that is good that your day is going well, because he is going to need to work late. OK, not a big deal, trying harder now to keep thinking those happy thoughts. My 5 year old comes home from school, crying because his buddy couldn't come over and play. My 4 month old decides he is going to join him in the screaming. Ah, but trying even harder to think happy thoughts. Now it is dinner time, husband is still at work, both kids are now screaming because they are hungry. Make dinner, burn dinner. Oh my where are those happy thoughts now. Finally get both boys there dinner. Get them in there p.j.s and ready for bed. Husband comes home. Boys go to bed, the day is finally over.
I have come to a scientific conclusion today, trying to be happy is way too stressful!!!

Have a Happy Day!!
