As I’ve mentioned, my avatar is to remind me that happiness is a garden,
Pulling the weeds, nurturing the flowers, delighting in watching things grow.
Kurt Vonnegut understands about nurturing the flowers:
I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, “If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.”
Simple awareness can be powerful.

That’s a fun avatar and raising awareness always makes sense.
Thanks, and yes. 🙂
You are right! I have read most of Vonnegut’s books, too.
🙂
I want to commit that to my everyday consciousness!
I think of it a lot more now that I use that avatar. I drew it years ago, but hadn’t thought to use it that way.
Yes, being aware of what makes you happy gives you the power to bring on the happiness as often as you like.
It’s empowering.
Beau is my #1 happpiness bringer and blogging, picmonkey are also joy bringers. Reading is my escape so not sure if that is happiness, but i am going to count it.
I definitely think that counts. It keeps you from worrying.
Amen to that! Hope you have a nice weekend.
Thanks!
