One day last year, I was in a local shop perusing their candle selection, when on my way out the door, I saw a heart shaped dish that said, “Be Happy”. It caught my eye because of the heart shape and was carved from wood which added a warm touch.
The image of that little dish popped into my mind frequently, but the reason I didn’t purchase it was because of what it said. I’m surely not alone in knowing how difficult it is to simply, ‘Be Happy’ for very long. They say happiness is a mood and positivity is a mindset, but holding balance between the two brings peace and joy to the surface.
The spoon rest that’s been lying on my stovetop for years broke. I dropped it while wiping it dry and told myself I could live without one for a while, until the day I realized how important a spoon rest is while cooking. I began searching online and found one that’s colorful and heart-shaped, but upon further inspection it had some tiny script in the upper righthand corner that said, ‘Live Happy’.
That was my light bulb moment.
To ‘be happy’ is to ‘live happy’.
