Glad Happy - Ep. 432
Sudden anger or sadness can throw you for a loop,
But sudden joy can undo you twice as fast,
It can make you think that you’re better than the group,
And such thoughts have been known not to last.

Ep. 432 - Glad Happy
We begin as always
with the Happy Creed.
We believe in Happy,
in Balance and Growth,
of being Mindful and Grateful,
Compassionate and Understanding.

My Happy Friends!
Sudden anger or sadness can throw you for a loop,
But sudden joy can undo you twice as fast,
It can make you think that you’re better than the group,
And such thoughts have been known not to last.
When things go wrong we tend to rally our forces,
But when things go right we can get a little wild,
It’s wise to stay centered and best to hold your horses,
‘Cause overdoing it can make you act like a child.
And not in the fun way, but one that makes you seem like a brat,
Like a kid who spoils their dinner by eating too much candy,
Sure, it tastes good, but it’ll also rot your teeth and make you fat,
And poor impulse control is not a trait that you want to keep handy.
When people say “grow up” they usually mean “stop complaining”
As if whining were the only mark of immaturity,
But over-celebrating is also not that entertaining,
And being smug can make others want to foul you into obscurity.
I’m not saying don’t be Glad when things are good, we deserve to acknowledge our wins,
I’m just saying don’t go overboard and make yourself Glad Happy or Stark Raving Glad
Because that’s arrogant, offensive and mean to others, like an emotional kick in the shins!
And they may just retaliate, which may surprise you, turning your good fortune into bad.
Haha
