I wanted to be happy and to spread happiness and there's not a day when I don't consciously make that decision. Your 10 points are wonderful and so important!! You are a bright light in this world and I feel so fortunate to know you!!

There is so much wisdom in this world, and what I love about your book-to-be, is that you have distilled it down, and put it in one place, where I could read it, and remind myself about their truths.

It takes work to commit to all of them at once and I believe I must work harder to do so.<br /><br />My favourites are Keep It Simple (my mantra), Live now,no turning on oneself!!, and laugh and cry! I think we learn so much from our tears and chuckles!<br /><br />Also, I think a sense of humour, the ability to laugh at oneself, not taking things so seriously are keys to happiness...at least, in me. Yes, and bending with the onslaughts of crises and pain...that's another good one!<br /><br />I'd like to read this book...I hope you carry on with it! xoxoMarionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-46165250969678021542010-06-17T08:05:13.343-04:002010-06-17T08:05:13.343-04:00anne, BINGO! it is not found through money or educ...anne, BINGO! it is not found through money or education or fame. happiness is contentment with where ever you happen to be, provided you are not struggling with basic food and safety needs. don't get me started (yet!) i have to go to work.

I mean.....oh boy....here she goes!<br />Happiness is an undefinable quality due tot he fact that is it different for every person. The core of what may make people happy can be similar, but the experience will always be different.<br />I think if you interviewed a thousand people there would be a jumble of answers, but what I have discovered is happiness is being comfortable in your own skin, and getting to THAT POINT is where the how-to comes in! (I have not had enough caffeine to articulate properly....)<br />Happiness, is the peace in *self* that happens with a lot of focus, work and acceptance.<br />I'm happy, and I'm not even awake!<br /><br />XXOO!!<br />Anne<br /><br />P.S.
