Thanks for sharing this Janet.
I know I've seen it before, but it IS a message worth repeating and remembering.
We're about as happy as we decide to be... we just have to remember that and make it a consious choice.

Wise words to live by. Happiness is a choice and as Tink said "a message worth repeating and remembering".

Someone famous made that same quote...something like:

"A man is about as happy as he makes up his mind to be"

I thought it was Abe Lincoln or Mark Twain, but couldn't find it when I looked it up. I think they are very wise words.

You're right Janet, it was Abe Lincoln.

"People are as happy as they make up their minds to be." - Abe Lincoln

Ha ha I'm trying Marilyn. It's too much work to be negative. I am really a happy person for the most part and I love to laugh. There are times I let things bring me down and sometimes it's hard to get back up. This new year I'm gonna try my best to not let that happen as much. Life is way too short.
