February 20 Laughter



“It is more fitting for a man to laugh at life than to lament over it.”
~ Seneca

Too many people take life much too seriously.

Too many people struggle to make life what

they perceive to be perfect.

Don’t worry, don’t fight it, go with the flow and learn to laugh.

Look for people, places and things that make you feel good

and ask for help, reach out and ask to be included.

When invited to join the crowd, be patient, don’t try so hard to fit in,

learn to ride the train before you ask to run it.

Happiness is learning what makes you feel good.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

February 19 Good Directions


“It takes little talent to see clearly what lies under one’s nose,

but a good deal of talent to know in which direction to point that organ.” ~ W. H. Auden

Most people know which way their nose is pointed, except for the drunk

or the emotionally unbalanced who get their direction from their addiction.

The sufferer usually can’t believe, nor do not want to believe,

what lies right under their nose.

Seek direction from family, the functional ones, friends, the sober ones,

and a Higher Power, the one whose directions everyone should be following.

Happiness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving,

we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it.

Happiness is clearly seeing good in the direction one is headed.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
