    Happiness is ....?

    "To be stupid and selfish and to have good health are the three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, the others are useless."

    Discuss, or drop in another quirky quote

    Thee



    The bright sun rising, bringing warmth to a clear day,
    Birds beginning their dawn chorus, flying on their way,
    The sound of the waves brushing the beach upon the bay,
    Cooling sea breezes giving relief from the hot suns rays,

    Church bells ringing, trickling through the fields,
    A swan gliding gracefully, toward a stream between hills,
    A blaze of red tulips glowing in the midday sun,
    Daffodils nodding their heads in tandem, not to be outdone,

    A blanket bringing warmth on a cold frosty night,
    An arm bringing comfort to an old man with no sight,
    A beautiful princess sparkling in her glittering new dress,
    The delight given to a groom by his bride who says “yes”,

    Tall grass swaying in the gentle warm breeze,
    Butterflies fluttering quietly between the blades with ease,
    The blossom of early spring on the bare dormant trees,
    A perfumed red rose opening for hovering honey bees,
    But of all of these, the most beautiful and most finest...is Thee.

    2 Corinthians 1:21-22
    21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
    22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

    Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

    Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. - Groucho Marx

    Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.- Denis Waitley

    Happiness is a by-product of an effort to make someone else happy.
    There is only one happiness in life,to Love and be Loved
    Happiness comes into our lives through doors we don't even remember leaving open.
    Happiness is not the absence of problems,but the ability to deal with them.
