What’s Your EASY WAY TO BE HAPPY?
One way to be happyJust write funny poetry
Apothecary of words can heal
Metaphor of thoughts to feel.
An easy way to be happy
Accept things, let life be
Be thankful we’re alive
Need not thrive but survive.
Be foolish, a happy moron
Always a smile to put on
To be stupid is just bliss
Sad truths, ignore and miss.
Everything will just be fine
Let ignorance spark and shine,
I don’t give a freaking damn
Am I happy? Perhaps I am.
Inspired by the Happy Moron poem.
Why not share your easy way to be happy?
It need not be a poem.
Thanks for reading.

A roof over your head, food in the pantry, and a nice warm bed.
Having empathy for those less fortunate. Cor gave a pair of nice lined leather gloves to a homeless man.
Met him a few years later, and he told us he still had the gloves.
We had forgotten about the gloves but it felt good to know the man was still enjoying them.
Never being afraid to get anything wrong, never being afraid to admit you are wrong..
A way to be happy is to appreciate small blessings, the attitude of gratitude....
Happiness is a blessing, whether you are moron, stupid, or normal being....
I’d LIKE TO BE
I’d like to be a soaring eagle
With radar eyes that can spy
Or a mighty, happy seagull
Gotta zigzag across the sky.
Right now I’m a human,
Running, walking with a dog
Taking things easy as a woman
Talking to myself in monologue!
I don’t like this sort of “lying to myself”... I think it’s a more of a mindset to be happy. Pollyanna attitude is described as a blinded optimism. It’s a choice, a decision to be happy, no matter what the circumstances. Perhaps the Buddhist way of life, DETACHMENT, can apply. Not easy but let’s try.
I surprised myself by telling about the gloves given to the homeless man.
It just was so nice to hear a few years later that the man stopped and thanked us.
That really was our reward to know something you did was appreciated so much.
We are not always lucky enough to know this.................
Joy I can really say; My hand is like a child's hand, easily filled...............
Myself i like to be as straight up as possible, but i'm trying to be a bit more diplomatic when being straight up so as not to tread on so many toe's.. but that's dam impossible and i still fall the good 2shoes band wagon often..
No matter what religion, an easy way to be happy is not to be affected by things we cannot control. Maintain your good health! I wonder if people are happy because they’re healthy. Or are they healthy because they’re happy.? We’re spiritual beings trying to be physical according to Einstein, so mind over matter is important!. Developing our mind power, not just entertainment or games can play a vital role for happiness and wellness!
Christians are just as bad as the Buddhist for avoiding confrontation, it seem's like they both don't want their beliefs picked apart.. well i'm their huckleberry i'm up for keeping everyone honest..
Circumstances we cannot control but need to rule our mind to being invincible optimist. It’s not wrong to say we have power to make our heaven or hell. Adjusting to life’s trials and acceptance of challenges strengthen the spirit. Not easy but we need to move always, not just the body but the mind positively. No happiness without action.
LA VIE EN NOIR
La vie en noir,
What’s the bar?
I asked a star
Blinking afar
Distant as you are.
Would friendship flow,
Will freedom go?
How could I know?
Will you tell me so
If you would say no?
Just play on words..
DREAMS
In my dreams I wrote great plays like Shakespeare
I fought in war - a male soldier with no fear.
I was in an opera a talented soprano
So amazed I was at my virtuosity on the piano.
I found it was easy to breathe under water
Where Hugh Grant kissed me and became my lover.
I was a famous model with beauty and class
Falling from a rooftop, I landed in green grass.
You broke my heart and ended up crying,
But I managed to wake up just before dying.
You must be a happy person or a joyful one..??
One way to be happy is doing our favorite activity...I like dancing, I can dance alone. I also enjoy playing the piano and singing at home... or watching an interesting film. Lots of things to entertain us and make us happy during lockdown days if we want to.
me a happy person? Trying to be one with this blog. Wish to be a moron, ignorance is bliss...
I see her face
Read her words
Sad eyes
But lovely,
Wasn't she.
Seldom have I said
I wish
I wish I'd met her
heard her own gentle words
from that very
same soft mouth
Death by silk stockings
So just a fancy of mine
Never to be
Not half bad, is it!!! But isn't it all Spanish, and no Tagalog?
For me...happiness - apart from being a state of mind - is seeing humour in many things and lots of laughter every day.
Also...MUSIC. listening, or playing, definitely raises the vibes and our personal frequency.
