Day six is all about doing something that you love. Whatever it may be? I think that we neglect ourselves everyday by depriving our souls from things that we love. If you do something that you love everyday; it is just one little piece of happiness that is provided by you.
Some people are lucky and what they love is what they do as a career; like being a nurse and helping people. I think that having that joy to wake up to everyday knowing that you are doing something that you love and being paid to do it it quite amazing, but is rare. People try to live up to the expression "If you do something that you love, you'll never work a day in your life.", which is fine, but you are still working. I think that for me work and play need to be separate.
I have an artistic heart which sometimes makes me extremely flaky. That is fine, it is a part of who I am, an artist. Whether it is singing, painting, writing or crafting, there is so much joy in all of these things for me. Being creative is my joy. Bringing joy to others is my joy. And it is something that I love. I relish in making someone smile or being able to make them feel safe and calm.
So think about something that you do that makes you happy. Now think about something else. When you have a little list of little things, remember to do this little happys everyday. Take a moment and be good to yourself. When you are good to yourself, your joy will be infectious. People around you will feel the positive energy coming from you and you will notice how better your days become.

Just a FYI to demonstrate how little the happys can be, I start with a hot cup of coffee everyday. I love a good hot cup of coffee everyday. This is one of the reasons that My Love chose a perfect song for us to start our lives as a married couple. I am posting the song below.
Anniversary Song
Cowboy Junkies
Have you ever seen a sight as beautiful
as that of the rain-soaked purple
of the white birch in spring?
Have you ever felt more fresh or wonderful
than on a warm fall night
under a Mackerel sky,
the smell of grapes on the wind?
Well I have known all these things
and the joys that they can bring
And I'll share them all for a cup of coffee
and to wear your ring
Have you ever had the pleasure of watching
a quiet winter's snow slowly gathering
like simple moments adding up?
Have you ever satisfied a gut feeling
to follow a dry dirt road that's beckoning you
to the heart of a shimmering summer's day?
Well I have known all these things
and the joys that they can bring
And I'll share them all for a cup of coffee
and to wear your ring
And I don't know how I survived those days
before I held your hand
Well I never thought that I would be the one
to admit that the moon and the sun
shine so much more brighter when
seen through two pairs of eyes than
when seen through just one
Have you ever seen a sight as beautiful
as a face in a crowd of people
that lights up just for you?
Have you ever felt more fresh or wonderful
as when you wake
by the side of that boy or girl
who has pledged their love to you?
Well I have known all these things
and the joys that they can bring
And now every morning there's a cup of coffee
and I wear your ring.
