If we're not happy and there's no particular reason why we shouldn't be happy, then it comes down to a choice. We CAN choose to be happy. One way to do this is to engage in an activity that we will enjoy and that will make us happy. What might these activities be? Play a video game. Watch a movie. Work in the garden. Walk the dog. Pet the fish. Go on facebook and post photos of your favorite shoes. Whatever rocks your boat. Do it! Have fun! Smile and Laugh yourself silly! Don't Worry! BE HAPPY! In this present moment, regardless of pain from the past and regardless of apprehension about the future, there is nothing stopping us from being happy except ourselves.
