Christmas Happiness

Everyone, including me, is a flurry of activity, getting ready for Christmas.

This morning as I was walking into the building, the church bells a block away were playing, “I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day.” I looked up and could see “Greetings” written on the HCC electronic sign, with their “Merry Christmas and star” mounted on the building. It was a lovely way to start the day.

I get a tremendous amount of joy from simple things like that, which is one of the keys to happiness. I’m very fortunate that it’s natural for me to find happiness in small things. But, of course, anyone can learn it.

What a lovely gift that would be to give people, but happiness isn’t something one can tie a ribbon on..
