Happiness is a Warm Bum

Today I took a sick day and yes I was actually sick.

It does happen that a simple infection can lay me low and that can be depressing in itself. Yet I am smiling as I sit here writing, even if physically I am feeling…well a little rusty.

I was feeling a bit like this two weeks ago when there was a get together in the city to meet other people who are taking the Thirty Day Challenge. I didn’t really want to go and so had not committed right up until that day. I mean there was the blinding-light-loved personality of the 30DC forums Caro, and people who wanted to meet Caro.  Yet i went and resolved to keep my eyes and ears open for the lessons there are everywhere to learn.

Which is why I was silent when the conversation turned to what would you do if you had all the money you wanted. One person declared a cruise ship with private helicopter, another a private plane, personal chefs and masseuses were loudly approved by many of the participants. There were islands and snowfields, mansions and comforts of every shape and size.

I sat and I listened and was quietly amazed.

You see.. I am doing exactly what i would do if I had all the money I needed.

I have my property in the bush and i will build my dream home.

I would be working my internet business and my side projects.

I would read and write.

I would be just as I am, and where I am heading.

Knowing that keeps me warm inside, keeps me smiling through a great deal of unpleasantness that could be distracting.
