Feeling Happy

Did you ever wake up to a new day and feel different than you felt the day before? Sometimes I awake more exhilarated by life than I was the day before. Today I have a feeling of happiness greater than I had yesterday. That's a good feeling. I can't explain it. I'm not sure what's causing it but I welcome it. Before I went to bed last night I started to read a new book called "the not so big life". It was inspiring. The premise of the book is to "make room for what really matters". That's what I've been trying to do for the past few months by cutting out activities which exhaust me and do not bring me joy. Like someone said, we are human beings, not human "doings". I've taken my father's advice and have taken time to smell the roses.
