I, Lydia, ruler over Lydialand (FYI: A long time ago, “Lydia” was a country in Asia Minor. :)) designate this day as “Be Happy” day. About an hour ago, I listened to the Pharrell Williams video “Happy” and all the singing and dancing made my heart happy and brought a smile to my face.

These have been challenging times for me and it is so easy to sink into a pattern of worry, sadness and depression. It is impossible to obsess with fears, worries or sadness if you listen to the song. If you’ve heard it before, you know what I’m talking about, and if you haven’t, you can decide for yourself. Even if it is just for the day, choose happiness. It’s infectious.
