The Happy Cinderella

Have you ever given a thought to Cinderella?  I mean, she was a Disney character sure, and she ended up with the prince in the end, but she had a tough life!  She lost her father, so she had to be mourning him for a long time.  She had no other living relatives and had to live a life of drudgery with her evil step-mother and hideous step-sisters that treated her like a slave.  But she was happy....always happy.  How is that possible?  I certainly don't know because I'm not sure I could live a life like that.  I get down and depressed if I gain a pound, and that's not even life changing!

So, taking Cinderella as a role model, I decided that I would try to be happy and think positive no matter what the circumstances in my life, and even without a fairy godmother.  I'm not sure this is possible.  It would mean a total u-turn in my whole way of thinking.  Negative Nelly has nothing on me!  But, I want to be happy.  I want to live a long life, and I don't want to be miserable any more.

This blog is about the things that make me, and you, happy.  There are no rules.  Follow along with me as I discover the things in life that I really and truly love and make me joyful.  And share with me the things that make you happy too!

This will be fun, right?
