Yesterday I spent the entire day doing things that just made for happiness. The day started with a day at the spa with two wonderful friends - one was turning 65, so we celebrated her! Then we got together and had a dinner party with a larger group of friends.One of our dearest friends died suddenly right before Christmas, so we celebrated her presence with us in the past and how she lives within us all in the present still. She was really the glue that pulled us together - we did not all know each other prior to rallying around her after she had an accident which left her a quadriplegic. Just being with each other is such a gift.
I completed reading a book, The Geography of Bliss, earlier this week. It really left me aware that happiness is a choice - we all get to make it! No matter what our circumstances, it is ours to choose. The amygdala only gets to rule if we let it....

If happiness is a choice, what's the point of performing acts of kindness? I thought it was to instil happiness, especially into those who need it. Do you mean that we should simply say: "happiness is a choice! " instead?
I do apologize if i've misunderstood you, but to me that seems a bit smug.
No matter what, i'm glad you've had a lovely day!
