#Happiness_Is

Hello and happy end of the week. I hope this week has been good to you. I couldn’t let the week pass without posting, as per my vow earlier this month, but I’ve certainly taken it right to the wire this time! I’ve been engrossed in rebranding and marketing my other blog on autism, parenting and personal development, previously known as The Greatest Adventure and now called Aspects of Autism. It’s been a packed week including a Skype call with my mentors, a digital content marketing webinar, social media work, domain name research, some networking and it’s been the Easter school holidays too so I’ve had fun hanging out with my son for two weeks, which has kept me busy.

I’ve loved it! I’ve loved learning new things, I’ve loved working on my passion for writing and educating, I’ve loved connecting with people online, I’ve loved stretching myself beyond my current limits. I’ve loved the buzz of dreaming up new ideas and planning out my year. I am looking back on a productive week with satisfaction and I am feeling HAPPY.

There are many things that create a state of happiness and for me achieving my goals and feeling that I have done something meaningful is a big part of that. What is happiness to you? What makes you happy? Is it exercising a skill, being creative, doing something meaningful, making others happy, relaxing, spending time on yourself, learning something new, socialising with good friends, making new friends, achieving goals, challenging yourself, time spent with family, looking after pets, eating a good meal? What are the elements that make up a state of happiness? How do you do happy?

I’d love for you to comment and let me know. Happy Sunday, see you next week.
