Happy, Happy, Happy

The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.
Henry Ward Beecher


Five simple rules to be happy:

Free your heart from hatred.

Free your mind from worries.

 Live simply.

Give more.

Expect less, & enjoy every moment.


When large numbers of people share their joy in common, the happiness of each is greater because each adds fuel to the other's flame.
Augustine


It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.
Charles Spurgeon

A SURE WAY TO A HAPPY DAY

by:
Helen Steiner Rice

Happiness is something we create in our mind.
Its not something we search for & seldom find.
It's just waking up & beginning the day
By counting our blessings & kneeling to pray.

It's giving up thoughts that breed discontent
And accepting what comes as a gift heaven-sent.
It's giving up wishing for things we have not
And making the best of whatever we've got,

It's knowing that life is determined for us'
And pursuing our tasks without fret, fear, or fuss.
For it's by completing what God gives us to do
That we find real contentment & Happiness too.
