Happiness??? What is it?

Last night 11pm. After doing all my chores in the house I decided to lay down on my bed and call it a day. Cause I was so very tired from all the work. :( I wanted to sleep because I have a work today. But, I can't sleep. I don't know the reason why, but I really can't sleep. So, I decide to read a book to help me sleep. Even though I'm not a book fan. But, the book I read was very interesting and got me all night reading. And that book was "Be happy you are Loved" by Robert H. Schuller.

It was the book that my aunt left in our house 8 years ago. I haven't finish reading the yet though. This book had a very interesting stories of trials and errors in life and how to be happy no matter what comes around.

Here is a few contents of the book. A definition of happiness.

Hollow Hilarity,
Giddy Gaiety,
Loud Laughter,
Flippant Frivolity,

or Chemical Cheer!

Serene Self-Esteem!
Tender Tears!
Lasting Love!

Affirming Faith!
Perceiving Possibilities!


Yes, Happiness is....

Having a hand to hold!
Finding a heart to heal!
Leaning into tomorrow with love!
