Thank you for the vote of confidence Nonic. I saw the quote and it reminded me of the value in stopping to smell the roses along the way. I too often forget to do that and it's a tragedy because the roses are what it's all about. If we could only carve out an existence for ourselves with roses alone what a marvelous world this would be.

Well said, I totally agree...My most unhappy times tend to coincide with periods when I have taken the most simple things for granted. Those are the moments, had I been aware, that I would have been most in awe of the reality of my own existance in an unbelievably complex and spell binding world.

Actively practicing gratitude on a regular basis will keep you in touch with the very best of your possibilities. It will enable you to see opportunities and utilize resources which may otherwise have remained hidden or forgotten.

Must follow that one Anna!
"If you want to be happy, be"
Can't remember who but those 7 words regularly pop into my head to keep me honest. It really is a choice and besides, life's too short to be miserable. :)

Lainey, you know you're one of my best quit buddies...but, I want to scream at the top of my smoke free lungs and NOT be quiet. This is just too great to keep to myself, I'm nicotine free and back in charge of my life and there's no better way to be.
"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness!" I really think for the first time in a long time I'm there! I've tamed the nicodemon and I feel GREAT! I feel I've accomplished something significant and it's just the best feeling ever!
We have within our control all that it takes to be happy.
