Don't worry be happy!

It's good to be just plain happy; it's a little better to know that you're happy; but to understand that you're happy and to know why and how....and still be happy, be happy in the being and the knowing, well that is beyond happiness, that is bliss.
Henry Miller

Negative thinking seems to open the door for hell to enter and frankly I've had enough for one lifetime. Trying to embrace that which is positive, cliche though it may be, "developing an attitude of gratitude." To be thankfull for what blessings that exisit in life and be happy with what you have on the way to where you are going. Being around people who are filled with pain and negativity can ruin a persons serenity. It has taken a long time to find the peacefull center and I am not going to let myself be short circuited and fall into someone elses quagmire. In 2003 I chanted that life was too short not to enjoy yourself. Maybe I have to accept that the best I can do is not always going to be perfect. Hard lessons. So on the road toward authenticity can I do anything else but challenge myself to change the things I can and enjoy the ride now and then. So I'll continue to say the serenity prayer even if I have to repeat it ten times a day. Keep the peace, follow your bliss, dance, sing, create your art and just BE HAPPY!

I was wondering about you today. Time for a girl's activity, maybe something to celebrate Merci's new room(s)?

zelda,
I have been consumed with negativity of late. Stay far away for awhile.
Glad you are on the upswing.

So glad to see you back on the "wires and tubes". First you find out what makes you happy and then you grab it and hold on tight. :)
