FORCE:
Verb: Make a way through or into by physical strength; break open by force.
HAPPY:
Adjective:
Are we in today's world able to be satisfied with enough?
I only have two simple things I want to share to and then I want YOU to share you idea of happiness and how you get there.
First this chart:
If you have had therapy or are on the autistic spectrum and had classes on "acting normal" I'm sure you have seen it. If you've seen it or not look at it and really think about your day. How many of these have you gone through today......and notice the happy face is just that...content. I feel we need to learn how to be happy with contentment and enough again.
And this song this AMAZING song.....just sit back and listen....you can watch or not but listen to those words!!!
- Feeling or showing pleasure or contentment.
- Having a sense of confidence in or satisfaction with (a person, arrangement, or situation)

When I was a boy, each week
On Sunday, we would go to church
And pay attention to the priest
He would read the holy word
And consecrate the holy bread
And everyone would kneel and bow
Today the only difference is
Everything is holy now
Everything, everything
Everything is holy now
When I was in Sunday school
We would learn about the time
Moses split the sea in two
Jesus made the water wine
And I remember feeling sad
That miracles don’t happen still
But now I can’t keep track
‘Cause everything’s a miracle
Everything, Everything
Everything’s a miracle
Wine from water is not so small
But an even better magic trick
Is that anything is here at all
So the challenging thing becomes
Not to look for miracles
But finding where there isn’t one
When holy water was rare at best
It barely wet my fingertips
But now I have to hold my breath
Like I’m swimming in a sea of it
It used to be a world half there
Heaven’s second rate hand-me-down
But I walk it with a reverent air
‘Cause everything is holy now
Everything, everything
Everything is holy now
Read a questioning child’s face
And say it’s not a testament
That’d be very hard to say
See another new morning come
And say it’s not a sacrament
I tell you that it can’t be done
This morning, outside I stood
And saw a little red-winged bird
Shining like a burning bush
Singing like a scripture verse
It made me want to bow my head
I remember when church let out
How things have changed since then
Everything is holy now
It used to be a world half-there
Heaven’s second rate hand-me-down
But I walk it with a reverent air
‘Cause everything is holy now
On Sunday, we would go to church
And pay attention to the priest

And consecrate the holy bread

As most of you know my mood has been a roller coaster since before my surgery. I try to stay on the positive sides of emotions, and you know what. I AM happy. For many reasons that I have posted in other post . I want to save my happys because I want you to share yours. My autism often make me get stuck in happy face mode and I don't express all the others as well. So a personal goal I'm sharing with you it to try to share those other moods with friends. To remember there is something above happy before I hit "bonkers" and something below happy before I hit "melt down". When I hit "melt down" its hard to remember where happy is unlike when most people who just flow through the motions you can flow back. The big thing is to remember what happy feels like so you can get back there. What ever it takes, to visualize something, to go to a happy place in your head, or just deep breaths...get there and remember it.
The song above is amazing.....I think it will become my happy place!!!

Give up apathy. Stay
informed, speak up,
vote, pick an issue
and learn all you can
about it.
