Intro

Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold, the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.

Democritus, (460?-370? BC)

Is it true? Hi all, first posting, first blog, ever. I've read about it, got some advice on it, never had the will nor courage until now. Then I realised, what the heck, why not? Put my ramblings on to screen, instead of staying as ramblings in my brain. It's crowded enough as it is. Everything that I write here is purely my opinion. Maybe some comes from my friends, but it's all me. You guys may have a different opinion and I accept yours; I also think I'm entitled to have an opinion.

Today's ramblings is about being happy. What constitutes happiness? Some people equate happiness with peace and serenity, material wealth, that warm fuzzy feeling, whatever. I don't know. I'm happy just being happy. I think being happy is a precious gift. How many people can say they are truly happy? Not me, that's for sure. I feel happy some of the time. When I am happy, I feel light, as if all my problems are gone. I sometimes pretend to be happy when I'm not, hey why not? Fake it till you make it. When swamped by work, we usually grumbled, but look at it this way, aren't you glad to be able to do something, instead of twiddling our thumbs all day? When we finally finished, aren't we glad to be able to achieve something? Let's face it, I'm happy when I'm busiest at work, although the workload tends to bog me down sometimes. One of the happiest times of my life was when I was at my busiest at work, because although I was swamped, I knew I was learning, I knew I had achieved something. It all adds to the spice of my life. Did it add to yours as well?
