Sometimes happiness keeps it simple. It is simply *not* one
clear thing/person/aspect of your life. No matter how hard you try to make the
*not* thing a part of your happiness, how much you try to make it fit into your
life, it seems extremely difficult to find a healthy and good place for it in
your world. Maybe you should accept the subtle hints telling you this is *not*
it.
It’s okay that no amount of flexibility or hard work can
make it switch from *not* to *yes, please*. In its void, things can blossom
anew. That’s how weeding works, right?
Today, I signed up for a dance gym and violin lessons. Over
the course of the last month, I signed up for a book club and online yoga. I am
going back to school in a week. I am making more time for friends. I am writing
so many grant proposals at work. These are all new things in my garden of
happiness.
So, new things, bloom in the void please, okay? I am trying
to take the hints. Don’t just stay empty over there. I crave life and energy in
that space.
