A Philosophy towards life.
Thinking of my loved ones is my recipe for happiness
Happiness is something
we create in our mind
It's not something we search for
but can't seem to find.
It's not something that's
purchased with silver or gold
not something that force
can capture and hold.
It's just waking up
and beginning each new day,
by counting our blessings
and kneeling to pray.
It's giving up thoughts
that breed discontent,
and accepting what comes
as a gift heaven sent.
It's giving up wishing
for things we have not,
and making the best
whatever we've got.
It's knowing that life
is determined and planned,
and that God holds the world
in the palm of his hand.
And it's by completing
what God gives us to do,
that we find our contentment
and happiness, too.
Joan Hiscock
