100 ways to be happy - Number 6. Be silly

As a mother I seem to spend a lot of my time being serious. Dealing with bills, meal planning, cooking, cleaning, home organising and sorting out disputes! I generally have more of a serious nature and getting silly is not something I tend to do on a regular basis.

Since having children I have noticed that being silly is an activity that I seem to participate in now on an almost daily basis. I have even found myself enjoying it and looking forward to our fun, crazy adventures! I love that my children are able to draw out a part of my personality that has been buried under worry, stress or busyness. They have also helped me to let go of fears and to relax about what others may think - great gifts I needed to learn.

One of my 'silly' and fun daughters is Harmony. This girl loves to have fun and I love it when she gets in her face pulling mood {which she happened to do recently to a trip to the playground and I happened to have my camera on me} hope it inspires you to want to be a little silly too...
