GROW YOUR HAPPINESS

Happiness does not consist in pastimes and

amusements but in virtuous activities.

- Aristotle

Count Your Blessings

I've never made a fortune,

and it's probably too late now.

But I don't worry about that much,

I'm happy anyhow.

And as I go along life's way,

I'm reaping better than I sowed.

I'm drinking from my saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember times when things went wrong,

My faith wore some what thin.

But all at once the dark clouds broke,

and the sun peeped through again.

And may I never be too busy,

to help others bear their loads.

When I think of how many people in this world

have it worse than I do.

I realize just how blessed most of us really are.
