Happy Moments

     I have these little moments once and a while where I just feel completely carefree and happy. I have become more and more aware of them recently, but have been noticing them for years. In these random times, just for a minute or so, I feel so tranquil and at peace with myself.  I'm not worried about anything, all those voices that fill my head with negative thaughts go silent. And all I feel is happy. I get these little "happy moments" at any time, while dancing in my living room with my little sisters, laying out under the stars at camp, or even just driving with my windows down blaring Shake It Out. I think these little happy moments are crucial to my recovery, because they are always just brief reminders of the joy I can feel when im not worrying on everything else... I am living in the moment. So try and recognize your happy moments and realize the peaceful and lighthearted feelings that come with them. Remember, a good life is a collection of happy moments.
