16 DAYS UNTIL SPRING
Sunrise: 7:00 am

Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
Today is I Want You to be Happy Day. It's an unselfish day. Its a thought that we wish upon others that we care for or love. To celebrate the day you should do something to make others happy, especially if they are sad at the moment. Putting a smile on other people's face should also make you happy, so there's one more reason to celebrate the day. To make someone happy you could give them a hug, tell a joke, or just let them know how much they mean to you.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.
Eleanor Roosevelt
One of the best ways to create a happier life for yourself is to make other people happier. In the long run, you tend to be treated the way you treat others. Kindness begets kindness. If you make someone smile, you just might make their day.
Remember to be happy yourself. We tend to share whatever we have. If we are unhappy or frustrated, we either consciously or unconsciously share that with other people. If we can be cheerful and positive, this will be the best contribution to helping others feel it too. There is an old saying that joy is contagious. If we can cultivate happiness, we will see how it spreads to other people.
If you are struggling to be happy yourself, try smiling and making others happy. It really works!
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it, but to delight in it when it comes.
Charles Dickens
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3643. for happiness, a gift that is contagious
3644. for a Krispy Creme donut, mmm good

Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!

You are right, Ma, that we can find joy and happiness in helping others. Sometimes by doing so, we put our struggles aside or temporarily away and then we do realize how blessed we are and become grateful instead of unhappy :) Beautiful day here in the forecast for Arizona; mid 70's and sunny :) (but rain predicted by early next week)
