i'll be happy when...

day 159...

this has to be the week of me needing to impart my wisdom (SCARY:)...live a little & read on...


..."we convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another...then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are...after that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with...we will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage...we tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouses get his/her act together...when we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice vacation or when we retire...the truth is there is no better time to be "happy" than right now...if not now, when?...your life will always be filled with challenges...it's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway...happiness is the way...so treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with...remember time waits for no one...
...so stop waiting, until your car or home is paid off...until you get a new car or home...until your kids leave the house...until you go back to school...until you finish school...until you lose 10 lbs...until you gain 10 lbs...until you get married...until you get divorced...until you have kids...until you retire...until summer...until spring...until winter...until fall...until you die...there is no better time to be happy than right now...happiness is a journey not a destination...so work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt and dance like no one is watching..."

BE HAPPY!

..."therefore i tell you do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself..." (mt. 6:34)
