Moods are weird things

Like how do we explain what we are feeling.

We don’t say our brain is releasing dopamine, but we feel the effects and say we are happy

so where exactly is that change between the chemical and a smile?

I think it is awareness

When we take a moment to feel, we can have experiences.

When we take a moment to slow down

Turn off the screen

And instead focus on the distractions around us

Sitting here on this porch eating jello while I watch the sky change into its pajamas, I am happy.

I think.
