Danced in the rain

Only a few people know how to make the best,

out of the worst.

HAPPINESS EXIST,

It's everywhere,

it just takes you to see it,

and want it

A Result of Happiness

"We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have."

Without A Reason

If you are an old follower of my blog
( from a year ago)

 than you know my love life hasn't always been perfect.

You would know I have came close to losing faith in love
or better yet... I have came close to settling

with what was the worst relationship

I even came close to thinking God was against me

 Because one person couldn't possibly

feel so much pain from something so genuine as love.

The wrong one made me believe to love was to feel hurt

or that love was an obstacle course

and we must prove our love

by shedding tear and dealing with pain.

All and all I can say

I had a long road of struggle

I probably been through more than a regular person goes through in a lifetime

Being in love with someone that wasn't right for me.

Broke me into pieces,

and left no room for reasoning.

But then...
 without a hint, or sign

 my wildest dream came true

I reconnected with someone from my past

Someone so peaceful, caring and full of life

And today I am proudly to call him my boyfriend

aka my miracle man

We are in a mutual loving relationship

And I feel as anything is possible

This relationship shows me that love is not as hard as some people make it to be.

When you are in the infinite state of infatuation,

 a feeling no word or emotion could ever come close to describing,

you feel as though this life is worth living for.

You also fear that person,
not fear as in an intimidating type of way

but you fear ever possibly losing them, and the thought already brings you pain

I have learned that this pain proves to me that my heart

 has felt a happiness i may never feel again if gone 

I now know from my sufferings with the wrong one that
the time period in which i did feel what
 I thought it was happiness wasnt' really it at all.
In fact it was the opposite

There are only a few moments in life
 in which i believe we find true happiness,  

a moment in which everything stands still and
 every emotion thought or worry is gone,

 it's a feeling I get when i am with Julian,
 the one who is built as if he was made for me,

and I wouldn't trade the feeling I feel for him for anything.

in thi world....

 And when you see me cry now,
 it no longer means I am suffering over a wrong cause. 

Now when I do cry it just means I am in love,
 and devoted to keep the happiness alive,

for more than a lifetime with you,
but an eternity.

I guess no happiness comes without a little

prior state of sadness

HAPPY

Dear Happiness,

I finally found you,

and now life is simply

BEAUTIFUL

and I am finally surrounded

by the right people.

So where will I be 5 years from now?

I will be HAPPY, anywhere!

Happiness is a Personal Effort

“Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.”

What to Wish For

Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for fewer problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenges, wish for more wisdom.
-Earl Shoaf

Being Happy

Ask most people what they want out of life and the answer is simple

 - to be happy. 

Maybe it's this expectation though of wanting to be happy that just keeps us from ever getting there. Maybe the more we try to will ourselves to state's of bliss, the more confused we get - to the point where we don't recognize ourselves. Instead we just keep smiling - trying to be the happy people we wish we were. Until it eventually hits us, it's been there all along. Not in our dreams or our hopes but in the known, the comfortable, the familiar.

It is a Day to be Remembered!

Ahh these two amazing birds are schedule to get married Today, at 5pm in a secret, and beautiful location (extremely expen$ive too, yikes!) in Manhattan, NYC. It will be a beautiful religious ceremony followed by the nicest, most expected wedding reception of the year!!! and the SMALL fact that TLC Cameras will be on site, rolling and capturing EVERY MOMENT, is just an extra added bonus.....

AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!

Stay TUNED!
and

Cross your fingers and pray that my bestie WINS the HONEYMOON destination package

 

I know absolute love makes a lot of things possible. But still... Getting married is probably one of the most important decisions a woman can ever make in her life. It certainly takes courage to finally decide your man is the right one for you and to share the rest of your life with him (especially at these kids age, but love is love and real love EXISTS) ..And not just because they are having the perfect fairytale princess wedding   means their marriage will be easy, because it won't, there will be though times, rough patches, but it will all come with a reason. "Nobody said it would be easy, JUST THAT IT WOULD BE WORTH IT" .... The love, respect, trust these two people have and demosntrate for one another makes them the IDEAL candidates to enter a marriage of lifetime commitment.  I wish them the greatest happiness and a blessed married life ever!

Mariana, may you look your most beautiful and happiest on your wedding day!

 TE AMO AMIGA!

Accept Who You Are.

“Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who YOU are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”

Excuses for Happiness

It's easy to come up with excuses to delay our happiness. All the time I hear things like, "As soon as I get out of this problem, I'll be happy." Or "As soon as I lose ten pounds... Or as soon as my business grows…as soon as my child straightens up…" As soon as this... and as soon as that... But "as soon as" never happens as soon as we want, so we sit around being miserable until that small part of our life... allowing it to control and take over on how we feel about everything else.... I know this because I AM one of those people who sits there and puts my happiness on hold until this one little problem in my life is out the way, cleared or fixed... Well, call me Miss Cleo, but as soon as one problem leaves,,, another one will enter... It's the secret cycle of life. We  always find something else to complain about, even if you DO lose those 10 pounds you were so desperately in need of to losing in order to be happy this summer, you will find an ugly blemish on your face (that probably has been there your whole life, but you just needed something else to complain about..) so we for forfeit chances of actually being happy, to deal with more self-imposed issues... I guess the problem is that we worry too much, think too much, and demand too much from ourselves..

  Give yourself a break, you deserve it, there are probably millions of other people out there who would die to look like you, or to have your fair skin, curly hair, or good health.. whatever the case might be.  And if you don't believe me, get out of your little shell, or bubble you live in, travel the world so you can realize HOW SMALL YOUR PROBLEMS ARE COMPARED TO HOW BIG THE WORLD IS... So put your foot down and make a decision to be happy right now, there will always be something to keep you from being happy. Let's get rid of the excuses and make the decision to enjoy life right now, TODAY.
