This is the beginning of a new day.
(Dance like no one is watching)
 

We convince ourselfs that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another.
Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when
they are.
~
After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy
when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselfs that our life will be complete when our
spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice
vacation, when we retire.
~
The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not, when? Your life
will always be filled with challenges. It's best to amit this to yourself and decide to be
happy anyway. One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D. Souza. He said,
"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was something to be gotten through first,
some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.... then life would
begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.
~
This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness, Happiness IS
the way.
~
So, treasure every moment you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with
someone special, special enough to spend your time with... and remember that time
waits for no one.
~
So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose ten
pounds, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you
get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you
get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer,
until fall, until winter, until the first or fifteenth, until your song comes on, until you've
had a drink, until you die, until you are born, again to decide to there is no better time
then right now to be happy.
 

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
