When you feel wonderful - notify your face!

Every so often, let your spirit of adventure
triumph over your good sense.
The reason Angels can fly is because they take
themselves so lightly!
It's not how far you fall, but how high you
bounce.
Magic is the feeling of Being.
Watching the grass grow, the water flow, the waves crash on the shore.
Seeing a sunrise, a sunset. Mountains at rest. Magic is the feeling
of contentment, no fear, no anger. Magic is more than Happy... It just IS. -
Nama Patel, Best Friend 
Today, give a stranger one of your
smiles. It might be the only sunshine s/he sees all day!
We'd rather have roses on our
table than diamonds around our necks.
God is the architect of the
universe, you are the architect of your life.
The people on our planet are not
standing in a line single file. Look closely. Everyone is really
standing in a circle, holding hands. Whatever you give to the person
standing next to you, it eventually comes back to you.
I still know quite certainly,
that just to be alive is a grand thing.
I
see all events in my life as Blessings. Blessings and opportunities to
learn to love. With Joy in my heart, I move forward.
Twenty years from now you will be
more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the
trade wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover!
You don't have to look far to see
a miracle. What could be more supernatural than a caterpillar turning into a
butterfly, an egg yolk into a chicken, an acorn into a mighty oak.
Life
is not made up of great sacrifices and duties but of little things: in which
smiles and kindness given habitually are what win and preserve the heart and
secure comfort. -Sir Humphry Davy
These Things Shall Never Die:
The pure, the bright, the
beautiful, that stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulses to wordless prayer, the dreams of love and truth;
The longing after something's lost, the spirit's yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes - these things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth, to aid a brother in his need,
A kindly word in grief's dark hour that proves a friend indeed:
The plea for mercy softly breathed, when justice threatens nigh,
The sorrow of a contrite heart - these things shall never die.
Let nothing pass for every hand must find some work to do;
Lost not a chance to waken love - be firm, and just, and true:
So shall a light that cannot fade, beam on thee from on high.
And angel voices say to thee - these things shall never die. Charles
Dickens
Happiness & Joy
Most people are about as happy as
they make up their minds to be. Abraham Lincoln
Keep your values in
balance. You will always find happiness.
May your joys be as deep as the
ocean, your sorrows as light as it's foam.
No one is guaranteed
happiness. Life just gives each person time and space. It's up to us
to fill it with joy.
Happiness is not an absence of
problems; but the ability to deal with them.
Don't overlook life's small joys
while searching for the big ones.
Cherish all your happy moments:
they make a fine cushion for old age. - Booth Tarkington
Every day is a renewal,
every morning the daily miracle. This Joy you feel is Life.
If you want to understand the
meaning of happiness, you must see it as a reward and not as a goal.
All who would win joy, must share
it; happiness was born to be a twin. - Lord Byron
Joy exists only in
self-acceptance. Seek perfect acceptance, not a perfect life.
Many people have the wrong idea
of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through
self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy cause. -
Hellen Keller
Joy is not in things; it is in
us.
It is neither wealth, nor splendor, but
tranquility and occupation which give happiness. -
Thomas Jefferson
When we cannot find contentment
in ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere.
We have no more right to consume
happiness without producing it, than to consume wealthy without producing it. -
George Bernard Shaw
Joy is one of nature's greatest
medicines. Joy is always healthy. A pleasant state of mind tends to
bring abnormal conditions back to normal.
To those who have not yet learned
the secret of true happiness; begin now to study the little things in your own
yard.
The great essentials to happiness
in this life are something to do, something to love and something to hope for. Joseph
Addison
