Can we be Happy?
What is the best way to find happiness in this world? A scary place, where many people are very unhappy and always searching for real happiness. As we were doing our school work a few days ago we were talking about things that made us happy. My younger son Cooper remembered a time when we went to his checkup at the hospital. We always eat at his favorite restaurant in downtown Ann Arbor. There was a homeless man sitting outside watching everyone go in and out eating their meals. I could tell immediately that Cooper was very bothered by this. He kept watching the man and worrying about him. I asked him if he would like to buy him a sandwich and some soup. Cooper thought that was a great idea. When we gave him the meal, he smiled so big and tears poured out of his eyes. He was so happy and thankful. It made us happy to be able to do something so small, but so big for the man. This gave me an idea. I thought maybe we could do a project where each week we could think of a way to make someone else happy. Kind of an experiment to see how happy it can make us as well! So we will blog about our experiences each week and hopefully post some pics too. If anyone else would like to join in, just email me (suziscott72@gmail.com) your stories and/or pics and I will share those too! Would love to get others involved too! Let's go out there and spread some happy :)
