Be Happy Today!

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are.


After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.


We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation,or when we retire.

The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?


Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.


Happiness is the way.


So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with...and remember that time waits for no one.

So, stop waiting.....
--until your car or home is paid off
--until you get a new car or home
--until your kids leave the house
--until you go back to school
--until you lose ten pounds
--until you gain ten pounds
--until you finish school
--until you get a divorce
--until you get married
--until you have kids
--until you retire
--until summer
--until spring
--until winter
--until fall
--until you die

There is no better time than right now to be happy.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.


Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching.

I figure if I wake up breathing it will be a good day, I can't be bothered letting things stress me out.

Someone elses opinion of me or my life is not important. Work especially. My motto is "it will get done when it gets done". I mean really no one's life hanges in the the balance of what i do. If is don't fax or file something the world as I know it will not cease to exist. Or if people don't want to associate with fat people that is thier loss because i am a wonderful person. If I don't like a person it is because of their personality or attitude not looks.

Miranda, the funny thing is your sister probably feels the same way about you at times and neither of you realize it.
