“In prosperity

our friends

know us;

in adversity

we know

our friends.”

.

~ John Churton Collins

.

There are many shrinking violets

who are afraid to go out in the rain,

there are many delicate roses

who wilt under the noon day sun

and then there are the weeds that prosper

under all conditions.

Lesson,

do not choose your friends by their looks.

Today, do not pull the weeds from your garden

because everyone knows that dandelions

can make the best wine.

Friendships are friendships in good times and bad.

Friendship is a priceless gem

that is to be valued and protected.

“In daily life

we must see that

it is not happiness

that makes us

grateful,

but gratefulness

that makes us happy.”

.

~ Brother David Steindl-Rast

Entitlement: the fact of having a right to something,

the prerogative, claim, permission, dispensation

or the special privilege one expects without having

to earn that right.

Happiness is not an entitlement.

Do something; smile, love, laugh, share,

be the person God wants you to be

and do something that will make this world

a better place for all.

Happiness is the benefit of being grateful.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
