The secret to happiness!!

SShhhh....you can't tell anyone, we wouldn't want a bunch of happy smiling people running around now would we? Of course not, because that would mean that people are actually happy! Here is the only thing you need to be happy...ready??....just be happy! That's it. There is nothing more and nothing less. I think that everything should be celebrated! And my favorite saying that is catching on with people is a simple truth; someones got to! Here's how you use this expression appropriately and without bias:
"Hey Stace, my bf/gf/best friend/cousin/aunt/uncle/niece/third cousin twice removed likes to play video games/is an idiot/shops in his underwear/likes to swim in a bowl of spaghetti etc. and all you can say is someones got to! It's like I tell Ethan when he gets mad about losing a game, I simply say,"Honey, just do the best you can, but remember losing is not an easy feat either, someones got to, otherwise there can't be a winner!" Someone has got to like everything or do something for everything to happen. My favorite saying when arming a car from another dealer, they'd say "Are you going to sell it?" And of course my response always was, "Someones got to!" Just remember that someones got to somewhere! Tell that to everyone you know whenever they say something that you may not like yourself and accept it! Then watch everyone laugh! Okay my second thing for this blog today, I had a birthday party a couple of weeks ago for Ethan at Chuckecheese and had an interesting experience..We had an excellent party host, and he and I were engaged in some "happy conversation" and he said something along the lines of not giving money to the hobo's that you see on the street because all they want to spend it on is drugs or alcohol. Now I have heard this said many times and without hesitation responded, "Well hell, if I were homeless I wouldn't want to be sober either! Can you imagine getting up everyday and saying man! I am so happy to be homeless today, lets see what kind of ridicule I can get today!"..I mean I'd want to forget that I was homeless too! Now, don't get me wrong, I don't condone drug or alcohol abuse but I can understand where they would be coming from, and that's assuming that they are using the money for such things. I can't help but think what if they really do need the help? You give and what they decide to do with it is on them and not on you. You give plenty so you can receive plenty. The more you can acquire and give away to others then the more you can receive for yourself. What can you give today to someone in need? I have family that spans the continental united states, that means we should all be doing something that can create happy feelings from coast to coast! What will you do? Give hugs, smiles, kisses to friends or family, write that long lost friend a note, tell everyone you love them, plant some flowers for a nice old lady (or man), sing happy songs, make a complete stranger smile, bake something delicious and give it away? Check back tomorrow!

Lots of love
