Everybody, everywhere
seeks happiness, it's true,
But finding it and keeping it
seem difficult to do.
Difficult because we think
that happiness is found
Only in the places where
wealth and fame abound.
And so we go on searching
in palaces of pleasure
Seeking recognition
and monetary treasure,
Unaware that happiness is
just a state of mind
Within the reach of everyone
who takes time to be kind.
For in making others happy
we will be happy, too.
For the happiness you give away
returns to shine on you.

GOOD MORNING !
It is Monday once again. The rising and the shinning is getting a bit harder each week, but I’m still persevering and I’ve still managed to find my SMILE each day.
BRRRchill-- it was a chilly weekend here. They say maybe we’ll be warmer tomorrow…I hope so. I need some sunshine and warmth. I haven’t been able to get rid of my flannels yet and I’m tired of them already.
After my second cup of that good hot coffee, I hopefully will be on my way to work once more. I owe , I owe, it’s off to work I go !
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
God does not judge us by the multitude of works we perform, but how well we do the work that is ours to do. The happiness of too many days is often destroyed by trying to accomplish too much in one day.
We would do well to follow a common rule for our daily lives--DO LESS, AND DO IT BETTER
Dale Turner
May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !

He did not get up till six of ocurse he really doeant have to be in till 8 but he likes to get an early start to the day . and he did work yesterday all day so that did make it up. But we have been very tired lately also more so than ususal.

Such cute kitties ! Happiness can be very elusive at times till we get past ourselves and make an effot to bring happiness to others. Sometimes it is very hard to get up in the morning and I admire your stamina day after day, however not like most of us have much choice about this as we need the paycheque. Do less and do it better is a very good common rule for our daily lives. Many encouraging thoughts for today and wishing you a good one.
Have a wonderful week! I`m getting caught up on journals again slowly but surely. I hear tomorrow is going to be a hot one.
Love ya
Penny
