Send us a letter WEEKLY INSPIRATION "I was born by Caesarean section, but you can't really tell... except that when I leave my house, I always go out the window." - Steven Wright Making Happiness Happen At times we go about finding happiness like a bird perched in a tree waiting for its next meal. We wait, hoping happiness will come our way. As a result, many of us are starving for happiness. Today is a new day filled with lessons to be learned and happiness to be experienced... We must remember, happiness comes from within... Happiness is not a by-product of life, rather it is something we can experience each day providing we are willing to search for it. Do we search out happiness today or are we waiting for happiness to find us? From Living With Chronic Pain One Day At A Time by Mark Allan Zabawa.
