The Wild Joys

“Oh the wild joys

of living!

The leaping from

rock to rock …

the cool silver shock

of the plunge in a pool’s

living waters.”

.

~ Robert Browning

.

Some of us may not leap as well as we used to

and a warm hot tub may be more apropos

than a cool pool, but we never should become

to old for the wild joys of living.

Have gratitude, enjoy living.

Today, regardless of your age, tickle your fancy,

be spontaneous, be impulsive, be happy.

Happiness is the wild joy of living.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Don’t Exaggerate

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

“We exaggerate

misfortune and happiness

alike.

We are never

as bad off or as happy as

we say we are.”

.

~ Honore De Balzac

.

.

Why exaggerate ? ? ?

Why not just be content with the middle of the road.

No one ever believes your laments of melancholy misery

or your over emoted spasms of ecstatic exuberance

anyhow.

Yes, we do those things to elicit sympathy or

to have other people leave us alone.

Today, be happy, don’t exaggerate,

tell the truth about how you feel.

Happiness is never having to exaggerate.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
