Today I went to a fundraiser started by my sister Kerri called Tea for the Troops. It is a fundraiser for our Wounded Warriors. Our brave military men and women who fight to keep our country free, and who come back wounded and need our support. We owe them so much for fighting to keep our country safe, and this fundraiser is just one way to help show our support.
At this tea, my sisters dear friend Alexandra Stoddard (interior designer and famous author) was the guest speaker. In her speech today, she spoke a lot about being positive, and finding happiness in our lives. One of the things she said today, really struck me, and it inspired me to write this blog.
She said to stop saying "I'll be Happier When....." and to just be happy. I thought about this and finished the sentence in different ways. "I'll be happier when...I have more money, I'll be happier when....I lose some weight, I'll be happier when....all my children are settled, I'll be happier when, when, when, when.....There are so many ways to finish this sentence. Yet if we stop trying to finish this sentence and just live our lives and be grateful for the positive things in our lives instead of dwelling on the negative, we won't have to worry about "when" we are happier, we can just be "Happy" and live each day to the fullest.
