Oh Happy Day!

"The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things."  Henry Ward Beecher

I've been reading a book about happiness.  At first, I thought 'how silly' to read about happiness.  Just go find it.  But sometimes it seems elusive.

However, I was reminded that we don't have to have "excitement" all the time to feel happiness.  We all see the images on TV and movies where people are over stimulated by various products from cars to soap.  But the one thing to remember is that we don't have to live in that "WOW" world created by marketeers.

But we all need to remember to not take all supposed happiness we see in commercials so seriously.  Instead, I know that happiness is available to me in every moment. Wow.
