Happiness: The definition changes over time

Contentment. Satisfaction. Joy. Delight. Exuberance. Jubilation.

It doesn’t matter what you call it. We all want to be happy. It’s a pretty basic universal truth. What makes us happy, however, is as unique as each of us. And, to complicate matters even further, what makes us happy today may not do the same tomorrow – and vice versa.

Happiness is constantly evolving as time unfolds and our perceptions grow and unfold right along with the seconds on the clock.

When we are babies, happiness is a full belly and an empty diaper.

It’s having your dad make a silly face that never fails to make you giggle. It is the magical mystery known as peek-a-boo.

As children, happiness might be defined by a new bicycle or a giant cloud of cotton candy. It is camping out in the backyard, ice cream for breakfast, the first day of third grade, living room forts and the magical mystery known as the tooth fairy.

As teens, the quest for happiness continues, albeit without any

cotton candy clouds or visits from the tooth fairy. For teens happiness may seem more elusive, life more complicated as the realities of self-awareness and peer pressure kick in.

Still, teens do acquire happiness on occasion. It often involves friends, the social scene and dating. It might come from success in sports, academics, school activities or hobbies. Often it takes the form of the magical mystery known as the car keys and a full tank of gas.

Young adults are eager to join the world of grown-ups but don’t yet have some of the responsibilities that will build up over the coming years. They now understand the world of work and probably have come to appreciate the

happiness brought on by a promotion and equally so a day off.

Weekends may take on new meaning (and joy).

The act of dating, which started during the teens may develop into marriage and a lifetime partner. This should, in the best-case scenario, increase one’s happiness quotient. Young adults still experience a sense of immortality; life is an adventure waiting to unfold.

They enjoy roller coasters, fast food and splurging on themselves – because they can. However, happiness also comes from the increased responsibilities that often accompany this timespan. Things like a mortgage, a baby, a dog and that magical mystery known as employer paid health insurance.

Seasoned adults no longer self-actualize over a 30-year mortgage but continue to seek happiness based on their experiences and tenure in life. Happiness isn’t as easy as a new bike or new puppy, but it isn’t as fleeting as it perhaps has been in the past. Joy

By

KELLY SIMMONS Columnist

comes from solid life relationships that have been nurtured and developed throughout the years. It comes from knowing what brings happiness and then pursuing that something. It stems from a knowledge of oneself that has also been built over decades.

Seasoned adults are no longer chasing the American dream because they’ve decided just to live it in the here and now with who they are and what they have. Their contentment comes from within, rather than from without. Life itself has become the magical mystery, with the realization that it has always been this way – clouds and all.

And that, in and of itself, brings on an overall sense of peace and contentment.

What to do when influenza comes for a visit

I pride myself on the fact that I don’t get sick anymore. In fact, I’m a little high and mighty about my streak of good health. “It’s about living in alignment,” I say. “It’s about honoring your body and taking care of yourself,” I preach. And for the most part, that is true.

When I start to feel a little low, I practice self-care. If I feel a scratchy throat coming on (that’s where I feel it first in my body), I rest, I rub Vick’s on my neck and chest, I inhale some essential oils, I do a little Reiki, and in a day, I’m back at tip-top shape.

We can ward off a lot of sickness and we too can heal ourselves in many aspects. The mind-body-spirit connection is real.

According to the American Institute of Stress, “75% to 90% of all doctor’s office visits are for stress-related ailments and complaints. Stress can play a part in headaches, high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes, skin conditions, asthma, arthritis, depression, and anxiety.” When we take care of body, mind, and spirit, we rarely have to go to the doctor.

And then I got sick. On the plane home from London, I could feel my throat begin to throb. Dang airplane germs, I thought. My sleeping and eating were out of whack so I assumed I would nip it in the bud as soon as I got home and got back to normal. Didn’t happen.

I applied Vick’s, sniffed oils, slept, and devoured popsicles, but I felt increasingly awful. We’d returned home on a Monday night. By Thursday, my throat hurt so bad (even after 32 popsicles), I contemplated going to immediate care that night. But no, I could wait until morning when surely, I would feel better. Friday morning, I couldn’t even talk.

To the doctor I went, ruining my years-upon-years self-awarded badge of honor. Of course, there was nothing the medical professionals could do. The doctor had little sympathy and simply said, “Influenza.

You should feel better by Monday.”

I wanted to punch him.

I had swallowed my pride (well, not really, it hurt to swallow) to drag myself to the doctor and I wanted meds, strong meds, to make me feel better NOW. The old standby of “get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids” seemed so not-2018. They had just taken my temp with some newage instrument that glides across my face. If we have that kind of technology, certainly we must have a magic pill to make my throat feel better.

Nope. I didn’t even get a sucker.

I went back home to a fresh box of popsicles and hoped that at least I had lost 10 pounds with this week of no eating. That didn’t happen either.

But then a few days later, I did start to feel better. And of course, that’s when my husband got sick.

Even though we knew better, we took him to the doctor. His doc swabbed his nose to confirm influenza (mine just squinted at me) and gave him some prescription cough medicine. He got a note to stay home from work for three more days.

According to the news, the flu has been a force this year. I guess so. It got us. C’est la vie. What to do when influenza comes for a visit? Not much. Go to sleep for a week. And I can write you a prescription for popsicles.

Kelly Epperson is feeling fine and welcomes your comments. Visit www. kellyepperson.com.
