Happiness

For this weeks blog post about Happiness I have decided to connect my happiness post to the season of Lent that is rapidly approaching. Seeing as I am Catholic and tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent, a season where you give something up or decide to work towards achieving a goal I have decided to tie my happiness goal to the season of Lent. For my Lent goal this year I have decided to strive to eat better and make my gym visits more regular. By accomplishing these goals I will then choose to give up five to ten pounds which will greatly be aided by also giving up chocolate. :) My happiness is making sure that my body is healthy and happy. Lately I have been getting so caught up in the business of teaching, grading and going to school that I have lost sight of my own health and happiness. I know that we all go through these phases in our lives but Lent is a time in my life that really allows me to reflect on my life and truly reflect on what it is that is making me happy in my life and what are the toxins that I have to work to rid my body of. Being able to take the time in my life to reflect and really focus on my body and spirituality is what truly makes me happy. So i find the timing of this assignment truly ironic seeing as it allowed me time to reflect on what truly makes me happy and then ensure that I am am to tie those ideas and goals to my goals for the approaching season of Lent.
