Happy
Daze
Just thinking about being happy brings
an avalanche of feelings. Honestly, what
is this thing we call being happy? It is really a feeling caused by an image in
your mind. You think about someone special to you. In your mind, you can see their smile, feel
their hands as they hold you, arms that hug you. It is almost like they are right there. The feelings generated make your body tingle. That
tingle is what we call happiness.
Being happy is not limited to
people we know or relationships. These are important, but being happy has many
different faces. Open your front door
and step out into the sun. As you feel
the warmth sinking into your skin, here's that thing called happiness again.
Have you ever been on your boat,
trolling for hours—not one bite? Then you see that pole take a dive. Here comes
that happy feeling. If happiness remains depends on your ability to get your fish
on board. Then once on board, it’s time
to smile. Hello, happy. You are here today.
Have you ever had a promise that
just seems to never get there to you? You have applied for a job you really
want and days go by—no response. Then, there in your hand is a letter—your name
right there, return address in the upper left hand corner. What is inside?
Accepted? Rejected? When you read the letter, the job is yours! Happiness comes
out with a shout. Hurray! It's mine. J
It's so great you have to tell
someone. Now there are two people happy, not just one.
Have you ever sat in your car almost
late for an important meeting? Then the "damn" car just won't start? Panic!
You try once more and it starts. From doom and gloom comes this thing we call
happiness.
Even when we hurt: a hammer on
the thumb—Ouch! But how happy we are when the "ouch" quits.
So, wherever you are and whatever
you are facing, happiness is there—waiting—your light at the end of the tunnel.
Remember: Be happy today; you
might not be here tomorrow.
