Avenues
One of my college professors had a phrase that I can remember as clear as a spring day, sparkling like dust in the sunny air of a hundred-year-old building full of not-so anxious students, because the windows were open, the petunias were persevering, and we got to be in communication with Dr. Murphy for two beautiful hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.
"Choice is tragic," he would say. "It eliminates other choices."
We would often quote the explanation to each other. It was reason enough not to choose one job over another. It was vindication for keeping at bay the boy you just weren't sure about.
These days, I am reminded in the purchase of real estate that I have perhaps limited the freewheeling nature I might like to portray.
You just never know what may be around the mountain.
After all, choice is tragic. I want lots of choices.

The Receiving is in The Gift.
In the last few months, I have been blessed to join the ranks of authors creating two amazing books.
In The Energy of Happiness, I wrote about The Bison and how shared experience brings us a feeling of happiness and home.
In The Energy of Receiving, I wrote about Random Acts of Kindness, and how the giver is able to receive more joy from giving.
What a gift. Both are available on amazon.com, and both are healing efforts of many wonderful, caring people.

Intentional.
It's plenty late on Saturday morning, and I meant to do this. I fully intended to bask in the warmth of my fleece sheets, to be completely aware that I had no need to throw back my layers and risk the bite of the chill and face the dark of the early winter morning.
Instead, I am comfortably ensconced on my ikea perch, overlooking my Christmas wonderland in the living room, after a delightful breakfast of pesto scrambled eggs and black coffee, which leads me to my next point.
Everything has sugar. One of my intentions now is to stop adding sugar. No jelly, no sugar packets, no whipped cream. After all, where did it come from? I don't really know, do I? I prefer to eat more food from plants, and less food from PLANTS, if you know what I mean.
My grandmother, the culinary wonder, and her father, the Greek chef, work through my hands when I'm cooking, and oregano is always present. After all, the old wives tale goes, "Oregano banishes feeling of unhappiness. If you've had dinner here on Greek Night, hopefully you left happy.
Intentional 2015. Naming every meal. Naming every dollar. Make your world.

On and On. Over and Over.
Today I received a book cover. It's a book cover that has my picture on it, and I'm listed as a...
Ready for this?
Happiness Expert.
I'm pretty sure that's going on some wicked awesome business cards. Pronto. Like, really!
The book won't be out for a month, but I co-authored with some pretty fantastic people, and I know this is the right way to kick off a year!

It is said...
Be happy. All the water in the world can't sink a ship if it can't get inside.
And so, keep the negativity out of your heart. Let not those disturbing images and voices play on in your mind.
Today may have been the most amazing day in the world, but if you let anxiety and sadness come into your door, the perfection will fly out the window.
I say, get new weatherstripping. A storm is brewing. Protect your happy heart.
