I recently spent three hours with two individuals who seemed to have lost the happiness in their lives. To spend such a length of time with such negative companions is rare for me, but because of circumstances beyond my control it was unavoidable.
The fact is that joy had left their sorry lives, and those who surrounded them had also allowed the negative circumstance that had overtaken them to suck the very life out of their beings.
Even their family had spiraled into lives devoid of happiness. Bickering, mistrust and disagreement was a part of their daily encounters with each other. Not a shred of real happiness could be dug from the murky mire of unhappiness that had become their lot. They had allowed themselves to devote their entire lifetime to misery and miserable words that had encapsulated their miserable lives.

340,847 adults, between the ages of 18 and 85 in the U.S.A. were recently questioned about the emotions they experienced ‘yesterday’.
The research published online shows that young adults experience negative emotions more frequently than those who are older. Negative emotions such as stress and anger, are similar in that they consistently decline with age, but worry holds steady until around 50, when it drops off sharply, the study shows.
So the facts are out. Daily stress and worry have been found to take a dive, and happiness increases once people reach 50.

For as long as I can remember, my little boy, who will be 21 this year, has always uttered two words from his lips whenever he greeted a new day or paused throughout the day to take in the view. And those famous words that have been firmly etched into the history of our family are ‘Nice Day!’
I wish, as I write this, that I could convey to you the tonality that he uses when these two powerful words leave his lips – but every time, we as a family hear these same two words repeated time and time again – even to this day – ‘Nice Day’, they bring a smile to our faces.
For what a wonderful gift of expression those two words are. They ooze with thankfulness, positivity, and a joy that embraces each new day as it is faced.
For every day approached in this manner can in fact be a nice day – N for New, I for Inviting, C for Challenging, and E for Exciting.

The longer I live, the more that I realize the incredible need to live in a constant state of forgiveness.
To hold a grudge is to be derailed.
To live in a spirit of grace is to be tracked.
