How to have a happy today and happy everyday even in times of suffering and grief.

We are humans and we suffer and experience grief but does that mean we need to let the suffering and grief rule our human experience? Feel the grief, feel the suffering and then what? Even if we are not suffering or have grief, we have other negative emotions that need to be balanced out by positive thoughts and actions. Grieving is different for everyone but it also reminds everyone, whether consciously or not, memento mori, to remember death, but remember it for themselves. What you do with that imagery can lead you to having a happy today and a happy everyday. It's not easy, the work is daily, and it took me over two years to get back to my productive self after caring for my father and his death. Let me inspire all the sandwich generation who care for young children and aging parents while running companies and/or holding down full-time work or multiple part-time work. I would go back to the days my company suffered to spend time with my dad caring for him and do it all over again, the same. This my friends is another way to live a happy everyday, no regret.
