Teaspoon of Happiness

[brightasyellow]

This is probably my favorite column on this site. I look forward to reading Sarah's posts that inevitably have some pearl of wisdom that makes me a bit more introspective. This week's post was so spot on about how we have no control over other people's actions and can only control the way we respond. I'm incredibly insecure in relationships and often read too much into what other people are doing. I often think "they must hate me because..." Something I try to tell myself is that they're most likely not thinking about me and that it's egotistical to think otherwise. I'm learning (slowly) how to focus more on my own behavior in order to improve my relationships.

I get so excited about Sunday mornings knowing I have Teaspoon of Happy to read! She constantly has something good to say, and she's not the least bit condescending or snarky (not that this site has snark--and thank goodness for that!). But, I always feel like I'm sitting down with an old friend and asking her for advice every Sunday. I love it. And, this weeks column hit especially close to home since I'm sort of going through some growing pains with a friend. At least I know that the only thing I can do is control how I feel about it. And, strangely enough, that makes me feel better.

Liz - seriously. I feel like every one of her columns speaks directly to me. I totally want to be like "Hey, Sarah, want to get coffee?" She writes so intimately.

Another great post by Sarah today. I try so hard to practice mindfulness, to stay in the moment. It's not the easiest to do in our society where everything is hurry, hurry, move on to the next thing. I've found, however, that when I do manage to pull it off, I'm so much more content.

This is my favorite column on the site too! Most of the writers are very funny but some are kind of snarky and sarcastic. Sarah has such a sweet way of writing like she never had a bad thing to say about a person in her life. This week's article about self-love was so spot on!

Ptree - I like snark and sarcasm and enjoy those articles for what they are, but I just love Sarah's articles. I think they speak to something deeper and they always make me introspective. I also love that she comments back to people who comment. It makes it feel more like a conversation.

I need to go look at the archives for this. I love reading positive stuff. So refreshing.
