A Sure Way To A Happy Day

HAPPINESS is something
we create in our mind.
It's not something
you search for
and so seldom find -
It's just waking up
and beginning the day
By counting our blessings
and 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, fume or fuss -
For it's by completing
what God gives us to do
That we find
real contentment
and real happiness too.

Hi Enid,
I hope you're feeling better and that the fever is gone. I like what you quoted here by Helen Steiner Rice...something I absolutely believe.
Have a great weekend...

Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.
