BOOK 08, CHAPTER 2, PAGE 22

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.

A.A. Milne

Hear Your Inner Voice ...

If you take a step and it feels good, you must be headed in the right direction. We need to measure our progress against an inner compass, using our feelings, our comfort level, and our knowledge of ourselves as the ultimate guide...

If you take the time and really listen, it may say something like... happiness is as simple as having something to look forward to in the morning...

It says, in a low murmur, you may have to strain to hear.. listen closely...

that now is the time to have fun.

 

I WANT to be happy

Is an often repeated phrase

People who say it, Get exactly what they’re asking for.

They live in the ‘want’ of happiness.

Choose to SHARE happiness today!

 

GOOD FRIDAY MORNING !

I can share my happiness with you today and it comes from the heart too ! I absolutely love FRIDAYS! I can celebrate that with the good Lords help, I made it through another work week and what a cold and bitter one it was. I just didn’t want to leave the house at all !

I know I could go out and start the car 15 minutes earlier than when I leave the house, but with the cost of gas, I really don’t want to waste it… then again, maybe I’d feel better….

I read the quote below and churckled because it could so very easily be me:

This is my "depressed stance." When you're depressed, it makes a lot of difference how you stand. The worst thing you can do is straighten up and hold your head high because then you'll start to feel better. If you're going to get any joy out of being depressed, you've got to stand like this.

Charlie Brown

Well today I’m not having any of that stance at all …I’m standing straight up with my head held high and saying IT’S FRIDAY

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Blessed is the person who can enjoy the small things,

the common beauties, the little day-to-day events;

 sunshine on the fields, birds on the bough, breakfast, dinner,

supper, the daily paper on the porch, a friend passing by.

So many people who go afield for enjoyment leave

it behind them at home.

David Grayson, American writer

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of

SUNSHINE  to warm your heart !

MA
