happy HaPpY happy
I have been in a really good mood today
I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow so I can already start my vacation...
Friday snowboarding
Saturday with my family
New Years with my friends
I found this in my email at work (someone sent to me a long time ago). I was already in the best mood, but this made me smile even more

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 confident 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, 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. Alfred D. Souza said, "For along time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life"...
This perspective has helped me see that there is no way to happiness. 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... and remember that time waits for no one...
So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose 10 pounds, until you gain 10 pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you are off welfare, until the 1st or the 15th, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink, until you've sobered up, until you die... to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy...
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
Thought for the day:
work like you don't need money
love like you've never been hurt
and dance like no one is watching
