"Be happy everyday." That's the first part of my motto. No matter how bad life gets, how upset or angry you are at this or that take a moment and breathe deep and be happy. Happy just to be alive. Happy for what you have to be happy about. Everyone has something to be happy about and if not, then go back to being happy just to be alive. I'm still working on the second part of my motto.

If you are miserable, angry, upset, bitter, resentful, hateful, jealous, worrisome...why not stop? I know it's harder on life than on paper, but just stop. Let a moment of peace pass through you. Why go through life unhappy? We are all dealt a hand of cards to play with in life. Everybody has crap. Everybody has pain, sorrow. Things to be mad about. Things to be jealous about. Everybody experiences loss. Everybody has somebody they don't want to forgive. Forgive them anyway.

So we all get this hand of cards dealt to us. Some of us get horrible horrible hands. Others seem to get all the Aces. My theory is that it's not playing the hand your dealt, everybody has to play whether they want to or not (although some quit early). It's the way you play your hand that makes the difference. It's not what cards you have, or even what you do with them, but the way you play. Play to have fun. Be happy regardless of your situation in life.

Enjoy it while it lasts. We're past 20. We may be 1/3 done. Probably 1/4. Life's too short. It really is. Make it count.
