~~ ~~* ~~ * ~~~ Reflections for the Day~~~ ~~ ~~ * ~~ * for Dec 21-22-23, 2007 AMERICA – The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself. ~Benjamin Franklin Alan Smithee – Happiness is excitement that has found a settling down place. But there is always a little corner that keeps flapping around. ~E.L. Konigsburg Amy – If only we'd stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time. ~Edith Wharton Country Bob – The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up. ~Mark Twain Glenn – Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy. ~Robert Anthony Gloop – Happiness is never stopping to think if you are. ~Palmer Sondreal Honor First – The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet. ~James Openheim Ish – If you want to be happy, be. ~Leo Tolstoy Jlallen - What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner. ~Colette Josh -- Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it. ~Fyodor Dostoevsky John Carragher – Those who can laugh without cause have either found the true meaning of happiness or have gone stark raving mad. ~Norm Papernick Ken Adams – Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness. ~Robertson Davies KLP – There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second. ~Logan Pearsall Smith, Afterthoughts, 1931 Lady Lurksalot – Can anything be so elegant as to have few wants, and to serve them one's self? ~Ralph Waldo Emerson Laz - Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible. ~St. Augustine ManyMoose – Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. ~Margaret Young Mph – It's pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness. Poverty and wealth have both failed. ~Frank McKinney "Kin" Hubbard Neeka – People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost. ~H. Jackson Browne Nhaynes – "Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called. ~A.A. Milne PatiBob – Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open. ~John Barrymore Peter Dierks – Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. ~Abraham Lincoln Richardred – Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne Tim Fowler – Nobody really cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy. ~Cynthia Nelms Rudi – Happiness is a form of courage. ~Holbrook Jackson Still Believing– Pleasure is spread through the earth In stray gifts to be claimed by whoever shall find. ~William Wordsworth, 1806 Carolyn – This is my "depressed stance." When you're depressed, it makes a lot of difference how you stand. The worst thing you can do is straighten up and hold your head high because then you'll start to feel better. If you're going to get any joy out of being depressed, you've got to stand like this. ~Charlie Brown Silver Bells" Christmas Time in the City – John Denver youtube.com Beautiful pictures to go with this one… Christmas Music: "Silver Bells", Johnny Mathis uk.youtube.com Christmas Music: "A Holly Jolly Christmas", Burl Ives uk.youtube.com A Norman Rockwell Christmas Moment decodog.com
