Be Happy

It’s the end of August
Official month of
“It’s ok to say you are happy”

I’m not a “Debbie Downer”
or, in my case, a
Barbie Bummer

I stand for the right
To be happy in the midst
Of world chaos

I watch the sky
Pet animals
Smile at people I don’t know

Paying attention
I read headlines but
I stay with facts

Drama helps no one
Being scared and worrying
Changes nothing

Thoughts become things
What we believe we become
Where we focus we follow

All life is precious
I find beauty and
good everywhere

Peace is a choice
I ask and I’m guided
And, I believe Love will Prevail

    I pet animals, too. I carry treats in my fanny pack and most dog owners let their dogs receive my treats! It’s so much fun.

    Just the reminder I needed after an unsettling few weeks.
    I looked at the blue moon and was in awe.
    I am grateful for my (extended) family and insightful cats.
    How can life not be beautiful.
