If not now, when?
"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.
So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time...and remember that time waits for no one.
So, stop waiting until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until winter, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink.... there is no better time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching."

I won't be around for comments, taking today off.
Enjoy your day
Sometimes it´s not until you nearly lose your life - as in my case - that you realise how precious it is.
I do not postpone things any longer as I don't know how much time I have left.
I do not take things for granted any longer but appreciate everything I have every minute of the day.
I do not work for money any longer but do voluntary work instead and the rewards I get are worth more than every cent in my bank account.
I love and give love as often as I can and it is always returned to me ten folds.
As for dancing and singing, I don´t care who is watching and listening.
As for "Happiness", it is a state of mindonly!
Noone can make you happy and one shouldn´t be looking for outside but within.
Thanks!
Contentment. I have that therefore I feel happy most of the time.
Also, I have this lackadaisical attitude, much to my mom's horror, that helps as well.
Hope you're enjoying your weekend, Biff coz I am
Then you should write to Santa too! And tell him/ her about your stress. And have him/ her, to stop by your house! And take it from you.
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching.
Carpe diem.
Or to quote Terry Pratchett, carpe jugular.
Not sure about the dancing stuff, I prefer to do it with someone and then they're watching. And falling over laughing.
I'm happy.
