Happiness?

I realized on my vacation (and a few weeks prior and now after too) that my Happiness Project is starting to work.

I am happierJ


And really for me it comes down to three things in life-all stolen from French woman and their nature and language. If I have all three of these things as often as possible in my life I will be very pleased and content:

1-D’etre bien dans ma peau (To feel good in my skin)


2-D’avoir beaucoup de gouters a chaque jour (to have many treats each day)


3-D'avoir des enfants bien encarder (to have well brought up and life educated children)


Bien dans ma peau includes:


Being relaxed
Not being irritated
Enjoying life
Feeling proud of body
Looking good
Healthy
Fit
Feeling confident
Having nice clothes
Feeling like I want people to take pictures of me
Having personal style and brand



Beaucoup de goûters chaque jour includes:

Things to look forward to daily (friends, work, experiences,  collegues couple time, family)
Liking daily life and not just vacations
Eating yummy things and enjoying them (especially cupcakes here and there)
Treating myself to fun and relaxation (good book, Jacuzzi outside, dinner with the family)
Sending and receiving nice texts and emails from friends and families
Talking on the phone
Making time for friends and family and what is important in life
Having cool projects in my professional life
Reading
Writing
Writing on blog
Being there for people I love
Having people I love being there for me
Being sincere and honest daily
Relaxing at my cottage
making time for the most important things in life
Reaching for what I want-as hard work as that is 


Les enfant bien encadrer includes:

Well brought up and polite kids
Kids who have been given attention and handed down our family values
Kids who are self confident
Kids who can socialize with adults and be respectful
Kids who know we are not there friends but their parents and love them but will always be there for them

Kids who have a heart and soul
Kids who love each other and love us
Kids who know the difference between right and wrong
Kids who have a “vrai education” in life
Kids who make themselves proud
Kids who we have planned out long term for and not just focused on the here and now


So if I can have all of this…man will I feel happy! Work in progress for sure but at least I know my goals and are trying to achieve them! It's a start....
