“God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me” -Sara (Gen. 21:6)

I am happy.
I love happy people.
When they are happy, so am I.
Laughter is inner Jogging.

So many times it seems as though we are in a state of distress. Simply waiting for good things to happen to us in order to be happy. But I say Stop waiting for someone to make your day. MAKE YOUR OWN.

I feel like often times we live in the past. And ask ourselves, "Why can't the present be as good as what it used to be?" But Abraham Maslow once said, "The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness." We have to be strong and look ahead. Sometimes being strong can be a very lonely thing. I know it's not a sin to get down sometimes, but we have to learn to look on the bright side. In the book The Great Gatsby I recall reading one time, "It eluded us then, but that's no matter-tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther...and one fine morning so we beat on the boats against the current, born back ceaselessly into the past." Our experiences should help us grow and be happy. Not make us be stuck in idle pursuit of our own will. Often times it seems like bad things always are happening to us. But the earth has music for those who listen. William shakespeare wrote that. Besides, every blind bird stumbles on a worm every now and again.

Relax.

Laugh.
