Different Aspects and Factors
Happiness
You cannot buy your happiness,
'Cause happiness is free.
Don't you know, or can't you guess,
It's there for you and me.
And what you do with what you've got,
Can change the way you feel.
Just do your best and smile a lot,
You'll keep an even keel.
'Cause happiness is made for YOU,
Just take a bite and see
That happiness is what you do
With something that is free.

A Simple Good Morning
A simple good morning,

Accept it and preach it,
from your heart and your mind.

Positive energy,

Say it to strangers,
and they’ll know that you care.

If I knew you and you knew me
If I knew you and you knew me,
If both of us could clearly see,
And with an inner sight divine,
The meaning of your heart and mine,
I'm sure that we would differ less,
And clasp our hands in friendliness;
Our thoughts would pleasantly agree,
If I knew you and you knew me.

Happy State of Mind
There are many things in my life to be
happy about,
I just need to notice them more.
Being happy comes from within and not from external things
I am happy to be alive!!
I create the happiness in my life!
I have faith in myself and my abilities
I am flexible and adaptable
I have the ability to change

Can You Sing a Song?
Can you sing a song to greet the sun,
Can you cheerily tackle the work to be done,
Can you vision it finished when only begun,
Can you sing a song?
Can you sing a song when the day's half through,
When even the thought of the rest wearies you,
With so little done and so much to do,
Can you sing a song?
Can you sing a song at the close of the day,
When weary and tired, the work's put away,
With the joy that it's done the best of the pay,
Can you sing a song?

Happiness for Today
Happiness is not lived tomorrow
it can only be lived today.
Don't try to catch it
from a day that's not here yet
life can only be lived today.
Strength is for each single day
time is not yours to borrow
you are given a measure each day.
So live it your best
believe for the rest
to be in His Hands lest you fret.

Take A Day Off
Oh what a Fun DayI
I laugh and say,
A day off once in a while
A day when I don't have to look at that dial,
A day when I can wear a smile.
Surely I'll make time for this
so it will not be just a wish.
Yes this day shall be mine__
it does not have to be sublime,
the weather not necessarily fine,
a day when I don't have to count the time__
YES, I think I'll have a Fun Day!

A Smile
A smile costs nothing, but gives much-
It takes but a moment, but the memory of it
usually lasts forever.
None are so rich that can get along without it
And none are so poor but that can be made
rich by it.
It enriches those who receive, without making poor those who give-
It creates sunshine in the home,
Fosters good will in business,
And is the best antidote for trouble-
And yet it cannot be begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is of no value
Unless it is given away.
Some people are too busy to give you a smile-
Give them one of yours-
For the good Lord knows that no one needs a smile so badly
As he or she who has no more smiles left to give.

In Us All
In a world full of wonder
In a sleep full of dreams
In a heart full of laughter
In us all, it would seem In the awe of a rainbow
In the clouds floating by
In soft ocean breezes
In us all, you and I In the song of a sparrow
As it welcomes the sun
In the mist of the morning
In us all, everyone In the Earth beneath us
In the heavens above
At the core of our being
In us all, there is love.

The Nature of Giving
What a Joy in giving
a life worth living
is that which is quick to bless....
I play my part
and from the start
He is eager to do the rest.
What a comfort in giving
a life worth living
is that which is quick to bless
When I bless others
like they're my brothers
He is eager to cheer and to bless.
What a PEACE there is in giving
That is the life worth living__
thoughts not for oneself
but the joy of others
Yes truly my soul is blessed!

Everyone is Beautiful
Everyone is beautiful
in their own special way
Everyone is beautiful
no-one has a say
Everyone is beautiful
no-one deserves to disagree
Everyone is beautiful
all of us, you and me
Everyone is beautiful
every shape, size and colour
Everyone is beautiful
don't listen to what others have to say
Everyone is beautiful

The Miracle Of Friendship
There is a miracle called Friendship
that dwells within the heart
and you don't know how it happens
or when it even starts.
But the happiness it brings you
always gives a special lift
and you realize that Friendship
is God's most precious gift.
Jean Kyler McManus
The Blessings in Sharing
Only what we give away
Enriches us from day to day.
For not in getting but in giving
is found the lasting Joy in living.
For no-one ever had a part
in sharing treasures from the heart
Who did not feel the impact of
The magic mystery of God's Love.
And love alone can make us kind
and give us JOY and PEACE of mind
So live with joy unselfishly
and you'll be Blessed Abundantly.

A Lift
Sometimes we don't need a tonic
but things to make our hearts frollic
Occasionally a helper or two
so that we could take off our shoes.
Quality rest, we would be blest!
The sound of music in the air
maybe new clothes that we could wear.
