Happiness Achieved

posted in: Mindfulness 3

Happiness is nonnegotiable
Be happy everyday of this life
Do not sacrifice happiness for other goals
Let go of false time
Let go of Uber-Achiever status
Listen
Sleeps are bliss
Wakings a comfortable challenge
Days of peace, joy and love;
Work, play and rest
Recognize calm as very different than boredom
Contentment not depression
Relaxation not sloth
Accept that happiness is not mania

    You’re a poet and you don’t even know it!

    A happy poet, with layered hair to boot!

    Who would have thought hair fractures were a perils of snorkeling. Luckily mom hasn’t seen the back of my head!

    Thanks T. I actually have lived through everything in the poem. It is a true story, so to speak.
