How to Find Happiness

Everybody, everywhere,

seeks happiness, it's true,

But finding it and keeping it 

seems difficult to do.

Difficult because we think 

that happiness is found

Only in the places where

wealth and fame abound-

And so we go on searching

in "palaces of pleasure"

Seeking recognition 

and monetary treasure.

Unaware that happiness 

is "just a state of mind"

Within the reach of everyone

who takes time to be kind,

For in making others happy

we will be happy too.

Cause the happiness you give away

Returns to "shine on you"!

Is My Fish To Big?

I recently heard a story of a man who sat on the river bank; poor, hungry, and fishing. 

Just up the bank from him was a boy, watching him.

 This man was catching fish, BIG fish, but every time he caught one he would throw it back!

Finally the boy asked him why he was throwing them back!? 

The man replied, 'Because my frying pan is to small for these fish.'

I thought ,Oh My Goodness!!! That is just like me! 

So often I, as a wife and mom, know that I can 'catch the big fish' but because the situation isn't perfect I either don't keep them or I don't fish!

For example, "I can't cook dinner because the stove top only has one burner". (It does for real. LOL).

 How about staring earlier and using the crockpot and microwave? Or oven...

Or I can't organize the closet cause I can't afford an organizer. 

Hummm, How about cute cardboard boxes from Dollar General (they are free;out behind)?

Let the children decorate them with reused wrapping paper,etc.

So this story taught me alot!
