Be Happy!

Working on "The Happiness Project"

I liked this quote: 

"As put forth by the Second Splendid Truth:

One of the best ways to make yourself happy is to make other people happy;

One of the best ways to make other people happy is to be happy yourself."

The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin

It's true.
     Being around happy people makes me happy.
          Making other people happy makes me happy.
               I need to be happy to be happy - LOL!

Sounds a lot like circular reasoning, but I'm working on it! :)

I tend to be a worrier, but have improved over the years. For whatever reason, this song came to mind yesterday. It made me happy! ;-)



Happiness is:

Hearing your son's happy voice over the phone.
Seeing your daughter's happy smile every Monday.
Spending time with your happy sister while taking a break on the job.
Getting an e-mail from your happy parents' ipod while on their River Cruise Vacation
IMing sweet nothings to your silly happy husband at work...how many people get to do that?

Thank you for taking care of all my needs. Lord, because of who you are and what you've done, I don't worry and can be happy.

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
(Matthew 6:25-34 ESV)
