I heard a report yesterday that there is currently snow in all 50 states! Yes, even Hawaii has snow on it's highest peaks! My facebook page has had numerous comments from friends and family about the snow and we even had a light snow here night before that should have melted the next day, but it is so cold, the snow has not melted and everything is still white. I'm afraid everyone is growing weary of the winter season. So what does all this talk about snow have to do with happiness? I started thinking about the seasons and how some years a season will be particularly difficult and isn't it the same in our lives. The seasons of our lives vary throughout the span and just as the seasons of a year are varied and sometimes harder than others, so are the seasons of our lives. No matter the season you are in, maintaining hope and making the decision each day to choose happiness can help you weather anything, and being thankful for even the smallest things in your darkest hours can help ease the pain.
As you weather this difficult season in your life, look for the small moments for which to be grateful and celebrate each day by making the decision to move forward. Spend some time writing in your journal those little grateful moments and writing about this season in your life as well. Look for this dark time to only be a "season" and know that life will get better with each step you make if you choose happiness.
