Don’t Worry + Be Happy!

Arising this morning...feeling spring in the air....has filled me with exhilaration.
I LOVE this time of year....new life in the air...ask the birds the trees, the grass....the weeds....
Spring has....sprung!
Then I read my mornings devotion from a book called...
“Keep On Dancing”....Daily readings to...Celebrate Life.
I must write....word for word....what today’s reading said.....

...”All the discipline in the world cannot make the sun rise any earlier,
or a flower more fragrant,
or a smile more spontaneous.
Running five miles a day will add as much as a hundred miles of capillaries to your system, makes you feel more alive,
but it won’t necessarily teach you.....HOW TO LAUGH!
You don’t have to have a plan to.....CLAP YOUR HANDS.
As someone once said, “If you have to move even ten inches from where you are now IN ORDER TO BE HAPPY,
then you will never be truly happy.”
Can you imagine the sadness of seeing someone squinting at the horizon desperately, while what he is looking for....is right at his feet?
Look for the essence of life.......in your own backyard!

Abraham Lincoln said....”Most folks are as happy as they make up their mind to be...”
My mind is made up.....I WILL be happy....it is my choice of life.
Yes, I intend to....Keep on Dancing....The music is in my heart!
Now I dare you.....as you read this....
Clap Your Hands three times and say....”Thank God for a wonderful full and Happy Life!”
Don’t Worry + Be Happy!


P.S. This is not to minimize pain, disappointment, etc....these are certain norms of life....in every life. Despite adverse situations, problems and circumstances.....Happiness and Joy of life is still a choice...day by day.
An attitude of the heart, mixed with faith....says despite all to the contrary...
God is still in control of my life....even when it looks like everything is...
Out of Control....
There is a song that says......”I’ve got a feeling...that EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALL RIGHT....BE ALL RIGHT...BE ALL RIGHT!”
With that thought, feeling, fact in mind and heart....
we can....Keep On Dancin’
...so saith the birds outside my window....
