We all know what happiness is: “State of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy”.
But I like it better the way Henry Ward Beecher explained happiness: “The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things”. So I’m an artist. Happy artist! π ! – because I’m happy without any special reason… Maybe not so extremely happy – like jumping all over… Ouch! π . On the happiness scale 1-10 I am on 7. That’s very happy!
Why?
I’m happy that I can be happy without any special reason. π .
I’m happy I am me – Oneanna65. π .
And so on and on…..
And I wish that everyone can find happiness in this New Year! Happy New Year!!!God Bless You All!

“Most people are as happy as they let themselves be..” Good for you!!

Great thoughts. I always think of how thinks were just for me one year ago in the hospital. Now I am back in full force enjoying life. Now I am a 10! But my wish is those close to me would not try and be so sneaky and be honest with themselves.
Thats a good place to be Oreanna65. A very Happy New Year wish from me to you.
Thank you I’m wishing you and everyone JOY now and always. Blessings, http://projectsbyMtetar.wordpress com

Yes, one form of happiness is being able to have gratitude and appreciate simple things.
Happy New Year! I would rather be happy than sad or depressed. I can find happiness almost everywhere I go or look. And it is so much more fun to be happy.

Happy New year! I noticed today that we share some of the same interests! I noticed your gravitar on both Canadian Banished Mother and Harper Watch blogs today, so I figured I should check you out. I look forward to reading your posts in the next year.
thanks for liking my latest post, anna. glad to hear that you’re happy! for me, happiness mainly consists of riding a shiny new bicycle through a ballroom full of multicolored balloons (something i’ve yet to get around to doing). i hope you have a happy 2014 too!
My hubby and I choose a phrase every year to suit the coming year, for 2014 we chose simply happy happy:) glad you are happy too. Peace.
I really love and agree with the Henry Ward Beecher quote. Thank you for posting it. And thank you for liking my post “A Story: To Tell the Truth.”. I hope you find much joy in the little things that surround you.
Thanks for liking my Enough of Winter post. It made me happy! If we could all find the gift of being happy with who we are, it will be a happy new year.
