The wonderful Peanuts cartoonist Charles Shultz said “Happiness is a warm puppy.” That gives you an immediate image. You can picture it immediately. What else is happiness though? What makes you happy? What do you do to bring happiness to others?
Obviously, there is not just one answer to my question. It's going to be a little bit different for each individual. I really think that being happy is a choice. We each have the power to bring happiness into our lives and into the lives of others. WE can make it happen! In fact, Ralph Waldo Emerson makes the same point when he said, “For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.”
Being angry or being unhappy can and does happen, even when we are trying to be upbeat and cheerful, but my point is that we can change things. We can turn a bad day into a good one, just by changing our attitude.
So be happy, and while you're at it, spread some of that happiness around!
