What’s going on this week?

The calendar I have says nothing much.

Tomorrow is Elevate Your Life Day. In other words, be happier. Sounds like a trap to me because my plans have a tendency to go awry. 

So, I Googled elevate your life.

Top result is for www.prevention.com with an article, “You can find joy every day. Experts Swear by These 28 Habits for a Happier Life.” After struggling through the ads and popups, a glance through the tips appears to be well thought of.

The next search result has “5 Simple Ways to Elevate Your Life,” on www.daydesigner.com. No ads to battle, the 5 tips have a lot of wisdom there to consider.

Both websites, in their own style, do provide ideas that can help people. The work to better our lives rests upon us.

The two question I ask myself are:

Is my life the way I want it to be? 

If not, then how can I be what I want to be?

Then tips become helpful to me for sorting out the direction I want to pursue. The usual is that there are several things to change or try. 

The fun is to select one unusual or old idea at a time. 

For example, years ago I felt a strong pull to become a photographer. I even bought a low end ( price wise) starter camera. I studied and planned until the enthusiasm faded into the thick brambles of life. I’ve used the camera a few times. 

What I learned is what a base camera is, one that needs additional (expensive) lenses. 

Trying again, with what I have, is a good idea.

I feel elevated already.
