It’s ok not to be happy all the time.
Life seesaws for all of us.
Embrace the falls, savour the highs.
***********************************************************
Contentment is a learned skill.
Patiently mastered.
Practice makes it second nature.
************************************************************
Brace yourself for a marathon of practice.
Be brave and express the negative too.
The negative is filled with wholesome lessons.
************************************************************
People disappoint, close friends let you down.
That’s life. Don’t let this phase you.
Smile, give yourself permission to be happy.
*************************************************************
Gratitude is a best-kept secret.
Thankful for life’s gifts, the food, the family and friends, the shelter.
