Choosing to be happy

by Ruth Hilbrown at 11:33
What is happiness?

It's an attitude.

It's the moment you are in and your decision to enjoy it.

It's my daughter's smile, a conversation, an opportunity to be more, a heart full of hope, love and dreams.  It is, as Martha Washington tells us, "determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition."

These two quotes below absolutely sum up my own ideas of what happiness is.

So now I choose to live in this moment and be happy in it.

Make up your mind to be happy quote

It's all a matter of attitude!

I'm Ruth, mum to Bilingual Toddler, Emma.  I write about our experiences of living and parenting in Mexico, being a lone British expat in a Mexican family and trying to bring my daughter up to be bilingual.  I also can't resist telling the world about yummy Mexican food.  You'll usually find me struggling to organise my messy life, be a better me and looking for the positive side to everything!

  1. You're completely right! I too believe that happiness all depends on you and how you choose to look at life. You can anxiously wait for something better to come along, or you can live in the present and be happy with your life today. Two beautiful quotes! Thanks for sharing them on the #candidcuddles linky! xx

    1. Thanks for hosting! It's not always easy to live in the present, but I think having a small child helps - they live so completely in the present! You just have to join them.

    1. I'm glad you like them. I find at the moment it's something I have to keep reminding myself to do, maybe eventually it'll become second nature. Thanks for hosting!
