HAPPINESS Sharing an email received from Fraz when he went to London to be with his dad who was sick at that time. I LOVE YOU Babe! After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet curtains that had been hung on her window. "I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy. "Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room .... just wait." "That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied. "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged... it's how I arrange my mind. "I already decided to love it ... It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. "Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away ... just for this time in my life. "Old age is like a bank account--you withdraw from it what you've put in." So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories.  CHEERS to the HAPPY VALLEY PEOPLE!  |

Life is full of ups and downs. In order to experience happiness you must experience other emotions, including sadness and anger, to some degree nearly every day. The ideal you should work towards is to manage what you have and who you are, to enjoy life whenever possible and to feel happy most of the time. LaCE ... LOVE and CARE EVERYDAY

Go to the beach. The long views, the wind, the waves, bare feet in the sand, sun on the back -there is nothing so good for the soul. (My friend, Parviz is renewed and invigorated in the same way by a walk on a hill. To each his own.) LaCE ... LOVE and CARE EVERYDAY

Keep a journal. Write an ongoing list of the good things that happen to you every day. What was that lovely thing your partner said to you the other day? You will not remember unless you write it down. Problems can be solved and bad things cleared from your thoughts by writing them down, too. Try it - it works! LaCE ... LOVE and CARE EVERYDAY

Don't let the small stuff bug you. Wasting your energy by getting upset about life's many minor irritations is not worth it. Smile and wave to the driver who won't let you merge into his lane. He's rude and aggressive, and it's his problem. You've missed the train? Fretting is pointless - the train is gone. Enjoy the coffee while you wait for the next one. LaCE ... LOVE and CARE EVERYDAY

Have a big clean out and divest yourself of useless "stuff." Clothes unworn for a year, the dinner service that you've always hated, kitchen utensils that are always in the way but never used, unused linen (you still have cot linen on the shelf and the "baby" is six!), toys, books, furniture - give it all to a charity and you will have helped the poor. The bonus is that your shelves and cupboards are clutter-free now. Housework is easier, your vision is clearer and the feng shui of your home is improved. LaCE ... LOVE and CARE EVERYDAY

Don't try to keep up with others. So, your neighbors have a larger home, the latest stereo system, a new car - who cares? Look again. He works on the weekends, and they never seem to see friends. Who's better of, really? LaCE ... LOVE and CARE EVERYDAY

Give yourself something to look forward to. Book a holiday, a night out, a massage. LaCE ... LOVE and CARE EVERYDAY
