Happiness
Happiness uplifts me
Happiness fills my heart, my mind, and my soul
Happiness gives me the strength I need
Happiness is a good feeling that enters my mind each day
Happiness takes my sadness away
Happiness fills my eyes with joy
Happines makes me excited and thrilled
Happines warms my heart and soul each day
Happiness gives me a sense of relief each day
Happiness welcomes me each morning when I get up
Happiness can be seen in my eyes

“Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our
next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a
crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air
— explode softly — and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes
into the air. Floating down to earth — boxes of Crayolas. And we
wouldn't go cheap, either — not little boxes of eight. Boxes of
sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and
copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest.
And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and
cover the world with imagination.”

“OK, I'll move ballet back and hour, reschedule gymnastics and cancel
piano.
You shift your violin lesson to Thursday and skip soccer practice ...
That gives us from 3.15 to 3.45 on Wednesday the 16th to play.”

“In religion and politics people's beliefs
and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and
without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined
the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other
non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass
farthing.”
— From his autobiography, MARK TWAIN
