@Grace – thanks for your interesting thoughts on this, Grace – I think observing ourselves is definitely the best place to start if we want to make changes, and can even be all that is required.
@Jeremy – thanks Jeremy!

Robin,

Sometimes it helps me to remember that UNhappiness and happiness are NOT polar opposites. Different things can make me happy or unhappy.

Time and place are factors. For example, if I have energy, hiking makes me happy. If it’s a rainy sunday afternoon, reading a good book with a cat in my lap makes me happy. If I’m hungry, ANYTHING with calories makes me happy!

So my first challenge is to recognize–oh, I’m unhappy!–and label it as such. Then I go through my list of standbys of mood enhancing activities.

Paradoxically, sometimes just the act of acknowledging the feeling and dwelling on it a bit–giving myself some TLC and attention, as it were–makes the unhappy feeling lessen.

Thanks for a thought provoking post! G.

@Sheena – thankyou!
@Hugo – of course I remember you – your comment on my blog was about the second one ever. Your blog is looking great – and has evolved really well, too.

Hi Robin, nice post!
Maybe you remember, you commented on my blog back in April. I haven’t visited your blog for a while, and I have to say I like the way it evolved! Nice layout, it looks like you’re doing well! Good to see things grow like that.

Welcome to anyone visiting from Blogging Without A Blog! I feel so grateful to be featured there – and along with such a dynamic blogger as Kelly.

@Betsy – hi and welcome! She’s another girl Robin with an ‘i’? I find simple things are often the most satisfying, too.
@Karl – hello again – I like your “I’m gaining a better understanding of what does and will make me happy” – I find myself getting happier as I get older, too.
@Tammy – hi there – I believe we “are all blessed with intuitions” too – I love the way you have described the process of following it.
@Jannie – thanks Jannie, and yes.
@Chris – very glad to see you – your intuition must be telling you to listen to your wife!
@Clem – hi there and welcome! Happy Birthday for tomorrow! I think that’s a great way of putting it – that our instincts are our highest power.

My birthday is tomorrow and I consider the reference to your blog, and the content you offer, one of my favorite gifts this year.

As I grow, year after year, I am reminded more and more that my instincts are my highest power. I had begun to lose sight of that recently….and found your blog today by no accident, I’m sure.

This is why I follow my wife’s intuition, because it makes me and my children happy.
