Happiness is ~ Smiles and Inspiration 2012 ~ Day 53 of 366 ~ 02/22/12

You will never be happy if you continue to 


search for what happiness consists of. 


You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

: o ) Albert Camus

So the question is have you been searching for happiness, do you even know what it looks like?

Read a quote that bitterness is seeing happiness through another person's eyes.  In other words if you don't have happiness in your life your miserable to see another person who is happy.  Do you know of anyone like that?  Someone at work?  Someone at school?  How sad to know that your happiness, that is to say your happy could drive another person to misery.

Guess if your happy you could never feel in anyway uncomfortable if another person chose to feel misery from your bliss and joy.  Would you?  Should you?

NO....... Capitals locked and very expressive the word is NO! LOL : )
So what is happiness for you?  You can share in the comment section below.

Here is the question one more time.  What is happiness for you?

For me happiness is ......

Hearing my two kids laugh and enjoy the moment whatever that moment is.

Waking up another day and knowing that good comes from my perception of reality and my efforts to make things better.

A friend caring to ask my advice.

My two dogs and the joy they have to see me come home or even around the corner. 

Having a customer at work say Yes.  Especially if its their first new car.

So my friend the questions is ------->>>>  What is happiness for you?

Smiles to you this day and everyday : )

(NEW) Weekly Affirmation for this week.

This day I enjoy stillness.  Stillness and peace and tranquility surrounds me, it fills my spirit and soul with love and I embrace it.  Noise does not live with me it rushes by with its purpose to disrupt I choose to let it rush by on its journey.  Each day and especially this day I live with peace in my heart, love in my spirit and joy flows freely from me.  I am in harmony with quiet nature and its signature that graces all life.  Happiness flows through and around me.  Smiles are shared.
