Happiness is in your Hands
When I hear the girls sighing over their crush , I notice their wistful expression of hope.
But he doesn’t like me mom is a recurring statement that sometimes escape their lips often mixed with a slight hint of sadness.
Sometimes a mere smile or nod gives them that giddy feeling. As a mother, it’s a thrill to watch your children happy over simple joys.
I often tell my 2 girls that happiness is a choice. Yes, it’s alright to mope and feel sad over a breakup or in getting over a crush. Cry if you have to , feel sad or be angry . I tell them ” Sit still, feel the pain, figure out if there’s something you need to do to take care of yourself and then go on with your life.”
