I’ve seen and experienced things in my lifetime which have made me doubt the presence of any kind of Higher Power but at the same time I’ve also witnessed irrefutable proof that there has to be something bigger than us at work.

Back in May, we had some discussion about happiness. It started with “Is life supposed to be happy?” and ended with more questions. Or rather it didn’t end, because, you know, more questions.
If you didn’t read all about it in May, then click on the links at the end of the next page. It’s worth reading through all the posts and comments!
I decided to take it outside of the blogosphere and make it a Query. I asked two questions: “Is life supposed to be happy?” and “How do you define happiness?”
Click here for the Query, to see how people answered.

One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned in life is this – It’s not the hand you’re dealt that determines your worth. It’s how you play that crappy ass hand that truly matters.

We have to deliberately live a life of gratitude, in the same way that we choose to be happy. It is about opening our hearts and minds to look out for and appreciate the good things that happen to us every day, even on the days that are stormy.
One of the reasons I continue to maintain this blog is because it forces me to intentionally look at my everyday life. And to be thankful for all the tiny pieces that make up its existence – the happy, the sad, the sweet, the salty and even the utterly mundane. Nobody said it’s easy but if you want to embrace life, you’ve just gotta savour, relish and celebrate every single minute of it.
