Thought for the day
What do we really see in others?
We think we can quickly see the faults of another person. The interesting this is that these are often the same ones we don't notice in ourselves. An annoying habit or trait in another person is often something we cannot tolerate in ourselves.The next time you notice someone is annoying, look into yourself. Are you perhaps mirroring something in yourself to other people so you could give words and structure to that characteristic? If so, what does this teach you?
Picture of the day
When you write Happiness Journals you have lots of uplifting stuff to read when gloomy mood hits you.
Happy Journals
This is a quick sketch I made some years ago. Obviously, as I love books, this is about loving reading (and writing) them. But this picture can also represent the Happiness Journals I have written along the way. Notebooks, side notes in diaries, little sticky notes...
One day I saw a mother and her little son (about 3 years of age) at a local mall. The mother was pointing at a big flowerpot. "Look! Can you see that?" she asked. I could see what she was pointing - a little spider was weaving a net between two leaves. The little boy looked clapped his hands and yelled: "Spiderman!"
