One Secret of Happiness

How many times have you thought, "It doesn't get any better than this!" How many times have you actually said to someone, "It doesn't get any better than this!" Make a conscious decision to use this thought as many times a week or a day as you can. Don't wait for a major accomplishment in your life to verbalize this thought. See how many times you can express it in your day-to-day living. This thought can come from: · Enjoying lunch with a friend · Walking with that special someone in your life · A child's hug · Someone who thanks you for helping them · Reading a good book · Watching a sunrise or sunset · Watching birds come to a feeder When I first heard this expression, I started using it at every opportunity I could. It made me appreciate all the little things that happen in my everyday life that made me happy. "Happiness consists more in small conveniences of pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man on the course of his life." Benjamin Franklin
