"Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open."
--John Barrymore
Get those doors and windows open! Sometimes I wait for a moment to be happy, always the planner I am, I wait for a perfect time or perfect moment...naw happiness is here every single minute if we leave that door open.
Yesterday in my long ride I got lost which put an extra hour on my trip making it a 6 hour instead of 5 hour in the car kind of day. Where we are located in Illinois (I think banshee will collaborate this:D ) it is flat, no hills, corn fields, wheat fields, soy bean fields, some trees although not like the mountains or other regions. Yesterday as I drove I though,the landscape however was remarkable. The patchwork colors of the fields were just beautiful.
Driving alone is always a good time to really do some serious thinking about anything on your mind and as I have been working about enjoying the moment I am in pretty hard, it felt just like a release to me to wander through the western part of the state, free easy singing some old rock and roll songs (has my voice gotten worse or what?:D ) but being in the delightful moment, even though lost of the day. Nice feeling!
If you don't have the door open all the way to feeling some happiness or joy, get it propped up with a whatever it takes today. Sometimes as simple as drive in the country can alert you to all the possibilities.
Open the door today!
