Some people c...Happiness is a state of mind, Dave. Some people choose it, some don't. Some blame their lack of happiness on others, or visa versa. Sometimes our situations can affect whether we FEEL happy or not. I like that saying... Ignorance is Bliss... or what I don't know won't hurt me. Why do all the insane people seem to be happy? I think happiness is sometimes like the weather in Rochester... if you wait out that miserable stuff, things will change... and you will probably feel happy again. <br /><br />I just read Edwina Gately's poem called "Balance." Here's part of it: <br /><br />I imagine everything depends on me -- when everything is God's business, and God has already taken care of all Her creation and all her people. -- We are only to walk with each other--- be with each other--- love each other -- <br />God's is the healing, the growing, and the fulfilling. When I lose perspective and imagine everything (or most things) revolving around myself -- I make myself a little god, and lose my joy. For I was never made to be a little god --- Only to be loved by the great God. Perhaps I am trying to love other people instead of loving myself. -- When I can do that -- then I can begin to understand how great God's love is.<br /><br />The poem is in her book, "I hear A Seed Growing." If you'd like, I'll copy and send you the whole thing.<br /><br />Peace be with you, my friend.<br /><br />mgMarieGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647562459433740241.post-14662106993282653932011-02-17T20:40:23.580-05:002011-02-17T20:40:23.580-05:00I think your 'happy' in what you do from y...I think your 'happy' in what you do from your blogging to working to create BUUF ... it shows in your dedication and caring.<br />Will you post the song 'Don't Worry be Happy" sometime soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
