Happiness... any age, any place, for any reason!

Happiness is not over-rated, if anything, it's under-utilized!

You can't fake happiness for long.  

It's contagious!

I once took a course that included smiling as part of

the homework.  It went something like this:

Put a smile on your face when you're around people

for the next week.  Next class, tell us what happened.

More often than not, the students in my class

all had great experiences!

Their co-workers, family members and others, 

who weren't used to seeing them smiling all the 

time seemed happier when they were around.

Sure, some had to throw in that comment "What are

you smiling about!"  We all said...

"Because I'm happy"...

Try it... be happy... it's your choice! :)

Living in Love

Someday's we're up!

Someday's we need a helping hand from a friend, 

or a smile from a passer-by, or a special "Thank You"

because life can do that to us.

It can knock the breath right out of us 
so that we step back.

We stop, look, listen and want to 
just curl up in a ball, 

and that's okay.  It's life!

The best part of this time is when we have the love 
from a friend to help us get back up.  

The best part of this time is when we know 
that our lives are not yet over

just because someone left us.

The best part of this time is... 
finding a reason to get up again!

The best part of this time is... not waiting

 for everything to be perfect to take that chance...

We know, you and I, that no-one is perfect, 

even the size 2's or the 6 foot tall-dark and handsome.

We're all human.  In this together.  On our little journey.

We touch every life around us

 and we're only really in each-other's space 
for a short time

when you stop and think about it.

Life is how you take it, 

what you make it

 and not what they tell you it should be.

This is your story.... make it grand!
