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.
