Things I've been thinking about.




A true quote I read made me think. The quote "No one cares if your miserable, so you might as well be happy."

How true, no one really cares. We are all so self absorbed that we really only worry about how we feel and how other people might react to those true feelings. Happiness is something you cannot buy, you cannot move to it, you cannot dream it into happening, you cannot receive it in the mail, or make more money to lure it to you. Happiness is something you have to find inside of yourself. Happiness is difficult to control, it's something that you decide to be not something that just happens to you. Happiness is a conscious decision and so unhappiness or feeling miserable are also things we choose to do. Choose to be happy and the whole world will seem like a happier place to be. Heaven on earth is not just a pretty idea, it's a true possibility.

Remember "Adam fell that man might be and men are that they might have joy". So happiness is the what we are here for.

The poster that says "Sing like no one is listening"...yep, check that one off Bonnie's list! :) I just need to add a quote that would read 'Go out in your pajamas and believe that no one notices'!

Nice food for thought, thanks. (What is it with me and food lately?)
