My brother in the snowed in States has a new business model this year. It's #happiness.
As often as he can, he shares some more of the concept with us. Besides the fact that these images stir up smiles, and pleasured sighs, this entire outlook has highlighted the potential for happiness in many different situations in my own life.
This famous bunch of friends may not be as smooth-skinned and fit as they were in their
hey day - but they're around today and can share this with each other. And that's happiness.
A family getaway? Well, that's priceless. Maybe you're worried about how uncomfortably close you'll sit to one another as you travel, or who'll wake who with the snoring... or the age old question of who will do the dishes while everyone's trying to take a holiday... But think about it: It's precious time with loved ones. What else matters?
Underneath that blanket of snow, you may not see the rich green grass right now, the fields that will feed your herds of farm animals... but already, there are a lot of things to be thankful for right there!
A birthday is an especially happy time - for the birthday boy and for his loved ones. Another year past is something to be grateful for. I love Micah's outfit in the beach shot. Clearly. He is happy.
For the love of the game...As Lee says, "feast and famine...and we're currently in the latter." I know that when Robyn recalls some of her best watched games with those awesome 90th minute comebacks, she feels enough happiness to last her entire youth and more!
The image of PJ's food is particularly special to me because it demonstrates how you can be happy for yourself and for someone else. I know that these brothers long for a reunion - movie marathons, road trips, cook offs and enjoying one another's company. In the meantime, Lee is so supportive of PJ's work and even though he hasn't been able to share in a meal with us in years, he can be a happy brother - for him.
So I've picked out a few of my favourite holiday snaps (because the holidays feel long, long gone!) to share with you - to stir up some #happiness!
