"Thanks Oprah, for the Breathing Space!"

Taking a break today, but putting out some thoughts on happiness, one from a friend's FB page...thanks Marcia, one FROM Oprah magazine this month, and one from a musical that is near and dear to my heart.

"People tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will descend like fine weather if you're fortunate. But happiness is the result of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly." - Elizabeth Gilbert

"I have so much of what I want in life. SO, what if we just decide that we have enough? That we are enough? And therein lies my happy. Remembering and believing that I am enough. That all the self-improvements that I have on my list don't mean that the self that I am now isn't OK. Happiness, my happiness, is right here. In this moment. Right now. I'm standing in it. I am knee deep in my happy. I just needed to look around to see it." - Shonda Rhimes

"Happiness is...morning and evening, daytime and nightime too. For happiness, is anyone, or anything at all, that's loved by you." - You're a Good Man Charlie Brown.

Be HAPPY!
