Gotta look for the happy moments in order to have them. It's hard to be happy if we are always noticing the things that are other than we want them to be. It might even be impossible. So we practiced noticing what's going well for us, what Thich Nhat Hanh calls the non-toothache, or what doesn’t suck as my dear friend Karen would say. And then we enjoy it or we appreciate that it doesn’t suck. https://mindfulness4stressreduction.com/2020/01/29/how-to-create-happiness-in-life/

Are you creating your own happiness? I'd love to hear how. Happiness is always available in the present moment, if we only remember. Thich Nhat Hanh teaches us to dwell happily in the present moment. I've found, that if I remember to look for it, there is always something to be happy for!
