Happiness

Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open.

~ John Barrymore

I hope this is a year of happiness for everyone.  Some years are marked by sadness.  Others by drama.  Others by nonsense.  The happy years, though, those are the ones that get us through the others.

And we have to remember that happiness is really hard work.  Much more difficult work that being unhappy.  But the beginning of a year is a good time to decide to do hard work.

And if you can get someone else to do most of that work for you, well then, you'll be all the more happy.  Which is why I think some people have a lot of children.  Because children = happiness.  And children = happiness because children can do a lot of work for us.
