I've been thinking about my purpose lately.
If you have a few minutes I found an amazing TED video that is sure to inspire you. It's called The Happiness Advantage.
"The pleasantest things in the world are pleasant thoughts: and the great art of life is to have as many of them as possible"
Montaigne
Synonyms for the word Happiness:
Pleasure, joy, exhilaration, bliss, contentedness, delight, enjoyment, satisfaction.
PUR-POSE
The reason for which something exists or is done, made used, etc.
The reason God made you.
After being still last week while I was recovering from being sick, I slowed way down.
I thought about what makes me happy.
Please take home any photo that speaks to your heart from this post.
"Happiness is like a butterfly,
the more you chase it, the more it will elude you,
but if you turn your attention to other things,
it will come and sit softly on your shoulder."
Henry David Thoreau
I'm always enjoying that butterfly sitting on my shoulder.
Karen, you are a bright light in my life. I hope all of the goodness you share comes back to you.♥
Beautiful view in the first photo, and beautiful photos.
I think my blood pressure dropped ten points just reading this. Thank you, Karen. Off to listen to that TED.
That was sooo good and funny!
Oh my darlin friend

How absolutely true, Karen. I too have been thinking about this and I am just BARELY getting it. This is one great thing about growing UP (not OLD). You start to realize that you have to be true to YOURSELF: WHO GOD MADE YOU TO BE AND WHAT HE MADE YOU TO DO.
Lovely as always, Anita
I sure hope you are feeling much better now, Karen. I'm been a little under the weather for a couple of days and it is a time to slow down and think about what's important. You are always so giving and that is God's way of life. Take care of yourself and enjoy the evening!
Karen, What a lovely gesture. Your photos here are all beautiful...as are all the thoughts that accompany them. You have a good heart and I think God has purposed you to bring your inner joy to others- xo Diana
Hello Karen,
I hope you are feeling better.
This such a great post and the photography is amazing!
Gabriela

I hope you're feeling better.
