60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday: How Might We Wake Happy?

  1. 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday: How Might We Wake Happy? 2:47

Hello to you Patrice (long-time follower and supporter)  listening in Big Bear, California!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

Happiness is pretty simple: someone to Love, something to do, something to look forward to.” [Rita Mae Brown, Hiss of Death]

Said another way, “The three grand essentials of happiness are: Something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for.” [Alexander Chalmers, Scottish writer whose papers are held at the National Library of Scotland]

Either way, it all comes down to the same thing, right? Do what WAKES you happy!

You heard that right. If you WAKE happy with something to do, someone to love, and something just around the corner on its way to you, there will be relatively few problems, obstacles, and other situations that truly interfere with your growing sense of esteem and well-being.

Story Prompt: Who are you and what WAKES you happy? Write that story! And tell it our loud!

Remember the first time you rode a bike and took your hands off the handlebars? And then because it felt fun and scary you did it again until you were streaking down a hill with the wind blowing in your face and your hands up over your head screaming, “Look ma! No hands!” That’s been the story of Diane's life. Showing up - maybe scared but not afraid - because when you fall down 7 you get up 8.
