There was so much devistation but if we are still here, we are still blessed. 

Good Fellowship

Those who create good fellowship among others will never be short of friends.

If you have a friend who goes out of his way to help cement friendships between others, consider yourself fortunate indeed. In today’s frantic, mobile, throwaway society, such individuals are exceedingly rare. With the demands placed upon us by our careers, our families, and the hectic pace of daily life, most of us have little time for ourselves, and even less for our friends. Yet we know that friendship freely given and gratefully received is one of life’s greatest gifts.

It's never to late to have a HAPPY childhood...

Don't rest from Happiness....

Happiness and sadness run parallel to each other.  When one takes a rest, the other one tends to take up the slack.

 

 

Hazelmarie Elliot ("Mattie")

Count Your Joys...

Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys.  If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it.

 

-Fyodor Dostoevsky

 

 

Laughter without Cause...

Those who can laugh without cause have either found the true meaning of happiness or have gone stark raving mad.

-Norm Papernick

How to be Happier at Work

• Do nothing for a half-hour.
  Rao says that all the noise in our day-to-day lives makes us stressed. "Try doing nothing for a half-hour: no watching TV, no checking emails, no reading," he says.


• Make a list of what you are grateful for about your job.
  It's easy to hate your company and think it's all bad, according to Rao. But seeing the bright side will improve your attitude and performance at work.


• Cultivate a new skill for work.
  "If you have to make cold calls for work and you find that you dread making them, but you love writing, try working on developing compelling copy and using mass email marketing and other tactics to eliminate something that you hate and emphasize something you love," Rao says.


• Make a tape recording of yourself on a phone call.
  See how many times you use "I" and "me." Rao says that instead of focusing so much on yourself, you should try and think of others and make their lives better.


• Make a list of all of the people you blame for bad things that have happened to you.
  Then understand that they weren't out to get you, they were just motivated by their desire to be happy. "Most of our perceived injustices are not really anyone's fault," Rao says. "If you were passed over for a job and your colleague was promoted, it is not their fault; you would have taken the same job if it had been offered to you.

Just a Simple Quote....

Happiness is never stopping to think if you are.

   -Palmer Sondreal

The mind grows only through use, and it atrophies through idleness.

Just as the physical body becomes strong through regular exercise, so does the mind require regular use to remain strong. Make sure that your personal development plan includes plenty of mental stimulation. One of the best ways to develop your imagination and visualization skills is through reading. As you read, your mind translates the words into images that help you better understand the concepts about which you are reading. Become a voracious reader. Read newspapers, trade magazines, self-help books, and novels; all will contribute to your store of knowledge and to your ability to visualize and more effectively use your imagination.
