Love-ing Yourself and the Things That Make You Happy

Sunday was a beautiful day, full of love and happiness. The weather was perfect - warm, but not humid and with a cool breeze. It was a perfect day for a hike - or, rather a walk through the woods...on a path in a place called Mountain Top, Pennsylvania. 

Hiking, time with the loves of my life, the farm (we'll revisit this), putting together the first of my raised garden beds in my backyard - it all adds up to happiness. I spent the day loving myself enough to do the things that make me happy. And for me, happiness is hard to come by. 

I have to cherish the little moments because it all shifts so quickly. 

From one literal second to the next, I feel amazingly happy then like I'm sinking into a black hole of soul draining misery. It's more than a change in my mood. It feels like a change in my very existence.

And so. Days like Sunday are my way of loving myself...of promising to give myself a chance to feel deeply the good moments since they seldom come.
