You know the feeling I’m talking about
it reaches right up inside you and suddenly – everything – feels
incredibly wonderful. Just everything!
~
~
Isn’t it just about the best feeling ever!
Just imagine if we could capture it in a bottle.
Save it for those days where we need
to uncap the bottle of happiness and take a swig or two (or more).
Savor the taste, the flavor ~ inhale it, swallow in gulps.
Yes, that’s the happiness I’m talking about.
~

I have a few bottles I’ve been saving up
And it dawned on me that happiness is not
to be selfishly contained but spread around.
No more hoarding happiness for me.
When I think of all the beautiful warm and loving
people that live on our planet I am happy.
When I breath in the fresh air (because I can) I’m happy.
When I witness and am a part of nature in all it’s glory
I’m happy.
~
~
When I think how amazing lucky I’ve been
in my life, (I survived) I’m happy.
When I hear, read or view the beautiful
music,words and art that others have created
I’m happy.
When I think of my family and friends
(of course this includes those talented loving blogging friends)
I’m happy.
~
~
When I see anyone with a big smile on their face
I’m happy.
And as I write this I realize, I am happy
so today,I share my happiness with you.
And it’s big enough to embrace
the entire planet and all of you!
Love and happiness to all of you!
YOU deserve it
so
Make it so!
~
~
Share your happiness with me.
We’ll laugh and be happy
and then we’ll make a positive difference
together ~ Happiness works best
in groups. Because very large groups
of loving, compassionate and caring people
is a very happy thing.
As I’ve shared my happiness
with you today, amazingly enough
it turns out
I now have even more to share
for today
and tomorrow and all the days ahead,
You are not alone.
~
~
Come ~ share your happiness with me.
If you’ve been missing happiness lately
I’ve noticed that it is quick to return
right after an awareness of
humble gratitude for that which you do have.
And remembering to appreciate this
by sharing with others!
Happiness seems to magically appear
soon after …
In large doses. Truly!
Have a most happy day today,

“Hello, listen I don’t know who you are but if you’ll just leave a message, I’ll make sure he get’s it …”……..A pause and then,
“You’re at a phone booth, okaaay … that’s the whole message?”
“And you’re waiting for him at the bus station! Who is this?”
“What? No, this isn’t his sister. This is his wife … hello?” click!

Except for the absence of a “click“, somethings in life never change!
