“I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.”
“The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.”

Great idea, Candi
What a great way to start my day. I heard an interview recently where the man being interviewed was asked what he thought the secret to happiness was and he said, “Honestly? Just decide you are. Happy that is. It really is that simple.” I liked that. I’m gonna think of myself as “jam” today and spread it around. hahaha
It’s amazing how simple is it, isn’t it? We seem to make everything so much more complicated….
The Hemingway quote is so interesting—- and probably very personal to him.
That one really stood out so I had to include it….

Isn’t that funny how it works…..sometimes when we needs something life just brings it

I am so happy that I inspired you….
