HAPPINESS IS . . .

Here's some food for thought:

 

Wishing

Poet: Ella Wheeler Wilcox

 

Do you wish the World were better?

Let me tell you what to do:

 

Set a watch upon your actions,

Keep them always straight and true.

Rid your mind of selfish motives,

Let your thoughts be clean and high.

You can make a little Eden

Of the sphere you occupy.

 

Do you wish the World were wiser?

Then suppose you make a start,

 

By accumulating wisdom

In the scrap book of your heart

Do not waste one page on folly;

Live to learn and learn to live.

If you want to give men knowledge

You must get it ere you give.

 

Do you wish the World were happy?

Then remember day by day,

 

Just to scatter seeds of kindness,

As you pass along the way.

For the pleasures of the many,

May be oft times traced to one.

As the hand that plants an acorn,

Shelters armies from the sun.

 

WORDS TO LIVE BY...

 

J. Donald Walters

Happiness is an attitude of mind, born of the simple determination to be happy under all outward circumstances.

 

Charles Spurgeon

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

 

Agnes Repplier

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

 

Hugh Downs

A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.

 

Sydney J. Harris

Happiness is a direction, not a place.

 

James Oppenheim

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grow it under his feet.

 

Dave Gardner

Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.

 

Aristotle

Happiness is a state of activity.

  • These are great Jaz. Thanks.
  • STRESS MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUE
    Just in case you are having a rough day, here is a stress management technique recommended in all the latest psychological journals. The funny thing is that it really does work and will make you smile…

    1. Picture yourself lying on your belly on a warm rock that hangs out over a crystal clear stream.

    2. Picture yourself with both your hands dangling in the cool running water.

    3. Birds are sweetly singing in the cool mountain air.

    4. No one knows your secret place.

    5. You are in total seclusion from that hectic place called the world.

    6. The soothing sound of a gentle water fall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.

    7. The water is so crystal clear that you can easily make out the face of the person you are holding underwater.


    There!!! See? It really does work...
    • Haha I am relaxed now, not in pain, and feeling totally serene, I just held under water the person who administered my chemo, the doctor who pressured me into it and the chemist that came up with the dam drug to begin with. And as they were going glub, glub, glub a gleam came to my eyes and I smiled...., Dam, this really really works...
      Thanks for this. I have been having an aweful time sleeping at night because I am slipping into sleep so often during the day since I have been ill and wired at night. I am going to do this before I officially got to bed in the we wee hours and I bet I will fall asleep with a smile on my face! Will let you know how it goes, haha...Laughter is so medicinal.

"Yes, another fake by Bezos...A shame, as I like Shatner's acting on the original Star Trek...But, that's his bread and butter, as a skilled actor...reading a script and delivering his lines, written for him by a script editor..
