Happiness Is Up To You
   

     
It is good to find the ordinary things in 
life fun. If we can enjoy what we are 
doing daily , we carry happiness around 
with us and have what we call the 
shine-shine quality. 

I will start with our family life at home. 

There we have our loved ones around us; 
our parents, brothers, sisters , spouse 
and children . They are the treasure of 
our life. Spending time with them together 
at home is part of our life. 

Next I enjoy my daily meals. We eat well 
to be fit and strong , to face the many 
challenges in life , the many ups and 
downs, its fretfulness, to face them squarely 
with positive thinking and a sense of humour. 
We also eat healthy meals to keep bad 
cholesterol and high blood level at bay. 

If you enjoy your work, then there will be 
no problem in your life . If you don't , try 
to get round it for there are more than 
one ways to place fun and work side by side . 
If you fail to do that , find out why you 
fail and tackle it again after a nights 
good rest. If it is not as simple as that, 
talk to somebody see if he can help. 

It is important to relax our bodies and 
mind after a days hard-work. We take a 
rest, have meals, chat with our family 
then we can screw to the screen for 
football, comics and our daily movie . 

Some find reading Bible very fulfilling. 

During weekend, we go out to do shopping, 
sit round the park or go jogging for health . 

For us Christians, we go to Novena , Holy 
Mass or do church activities to satisfy 
our need for spiritual life. 

Our earth is beautiful for God created 
it so. I always enjoy the sunrise 
( I dont always get up early enough 
for it, though .) , sunsets, green pastures, 
trees and grass, the sea , the birds and flowers. 

Take advantage of what nature has to offer. 
They are for free ! 

Our mental state is very important too. 
I try to think positive thoughts ; 
see the good in people not try to 
find faults with them,; make excuses 
for our enemies for they like us find 
it hard to love their enemies. 

I think it is essential to Keep our life clean . 
It helps to go to confession if otherwise. 

Remember Jesus asks us to forgive others 
seven times seventy-two. 

above all welcome Jesus into your life for 
He wants us to. 

If we can enjoy the ordinary things in life, 
we own happiness. We dont know what is 
happiness until we lose it.
