Thoughts on Happiness 1-19-2013



A friend once proposed that it is possible to create happiness within whatever circumstance you are in. This power of positive thinking is held to be true by many that serve as a living example of its power. Within my own unorthodoxy I see a strong correlation between gratefulness and happiness. Where there is a struggle to find happiness, I also find a weakness in gratefulness.
Gratefulness should occur when we arise each day. Of course the pain and suffering that disease may bring has an impact, for the most part being grateful for another day should bring with it recognition for the blessings that get lost in negativism.
The simple Christian tune , Count your many blessings…name them one by one, may appear on the surface to be over simplistic, but it is a power of sustenance through life’s many challenges.
So what is on your list?
