Happiness, Week 2

Here it is, another week, another weekly goal. Last week I was trying to find the hidden little things in my life that made me happy even if I’d stopped noticing them. It’s surprising how much I found when I was actually actively looking and paying attention.

This week, conveniently starts on Valentine’s (in case you missed it, I’m going to blatantly advertise my earlier post on Valentine’s Day here ). In my opinion the whole point about Valentine’s Day is love. Conveniently this ties in with what I want to do in my goal this week. Last week I found happiness in my life—and a lot of that stemmed from simple little things or from things that people around me had done for me. This week is about sharing that love back with the people I care about, and giving them some extra happiness.

So, Week 2, Goal 2:

Show the people you care about that you really care about them. Everyone wants to feel happy or loved; they’re the two biggest things people want out of life. If you want those feelings, why not share them with others so that they can benefit, too? I’m planning on focusing on friends, family, neighbors…people I know and really care about. It’s about giving love back to the people who love me, and about sharing some of the happiness in my life with them. “Sharing is caring”, and the greatest thing to share is feelings and happiness and hopefulness and love. It’s not just the big things that count, necessarily, but it’s all the little things that can bring a little bit of sunshine back to their day, too.

So, this week I plan on doing little things to show people that I care. If I can find happiness in my own life, it’s only fair that I show the people I care about that their can be joy in theirs, as well. (:
