A thought....

                                 Just being happy helps other souls along;
                                       Their burdens may be heavy
                                                and they not strong;
                                       And your own sky will lighten,
                                           If other skies  you brighten
                               By just being happy with a heart full of song.
                                                                         - Ripley D. Saunders

  1. Nellie, I worked with a girl who always seemed happy..I ask if she was all the time. She said "no, but if I act like I am , it helps me to become happy." I have never forgotten her. So smiles to all, Susie

  2. Love this early morning thought! I hope your day will be filled with joy and peace! I have always appreciated the thought that, if we see someone without a smile, we should give them one of ours! Here's one for you from me... :-) !

  6. The sentiment of that little poem, is echoed in the words of Joseph Campbell; "Go happy through the sorrows of the world."

    What he meant was... The world is a mess. It always was and always will be... But we need not stay bogged down in the sorrows and mess. We might better concentrate on how we can make our selves, more as we choose.

    Or something like that! I don't easily paraphrase, a brilliant man like him.

    Gentle hugs,
