Our February meeting was canceled due to snow. It was such a bummer to have to cancel a meeting, but safety comes first!
Our speaker, Debbie Giese from Fox River Christian Church, was willing to reschedule and join us for our March meeting. She spoke to us about having a happy home. It was a humerus and informational talk. We got a lot of practical ideas for how to keep our homes happy.
Debbie defined the word happiness and added that it can be circumstantial. Sometimes we wait around for something to happen that would make us happy. Maybe it is having a baby, getting a certain position at work, getting through the terrible twos. There are so many things we wait for. The truth is, it is possible for us to be happy if our circumstances are less than ideal. Here is how Debbie broke it down for us:
Humble: Nothing reveals our own selfishness like having kids.
Available: Grow your relationships and be flexible.
Persevere: Don't just survive, be intentional.
Plan: It will keep frustration at bay.
Yourself: Continue to grow and challenge yourself.
Food for thought: What attitude might you carry that works against your happiness? How can you make some changes?
