Dear Kid,
August is Admit You’re Happy Month.
Isn’t that a great thing? An entire month to think about being Happy. Well, at least half a month left to think about being happy.
We need a holiday to be happy? A specific month to be happy? And we have to “admit” it?
I’m a little confused.
I wonder if we have a month devoted to being confused.
I know that we can’t all be happy all the time. Despite the hit song. Despite the availability of chocolate and puppy kisses. Despite the current season of America’s Got Talent.
But maybe the idea of Admit You’re Happy Month is to remind us to revel in being happy. To remind us to practice being publicly, outwardly happy. To remind us not to hide our happy from the rest of the world.
Maybe if we spend the rest of August admitting we’re happy, we can carry that through the rest of the year.
And maybe, just maybe, when we have those times that are a little tougher, a little sadder, a little more difficult than we’d like, we can remember the happy and bring a little more balance to our lives.
