Gratitude is the first requirement for a happy heart. If you have that, the rest is just gravy!

That's a great attitude and something that I've believed in for a long time. I try to stay happy and upbeat.

HzChld: happy!!!
Did ya ever think that maybe...just maybe, Happy is a conscience choice we make, or do not make, for ourselves? I believe that it is. I was pondering this today while working...and then it popped back in my head while I was trying to go to sleep.
Life really is what we choose to make it, imho. Ok, ok so we may not have found the One, and may never find the One...and we may not have, or ever have, everything we want, but honestly, I think it's ok.
Cuz' if we make a list of all the Positives in our life, and there are many...one just has to open their eyes, and Heart, to see them ...I am sure we would find that the Positives greatly out weigh the Negatives.
The negatives... are they really so great and so life and/or time consuming that we should afford them the Power to steal from us the precious hours and minutes we are given? Will our life cease to be, and/or will we die if we do not have everything we think we deserve or strive for or want? I think not! Of course, I am certain there are those that would disagree with me...and that's fine. To each their own.
I choose Happy...regardless of what comes and/or goes. Love yourself enough to Live your life.
This is something that I am still learning to do...and sometimes I need to be reminded of my Choice for Happy. And when I am reminded...I look around myself and I see that what I have been so graciously given...is Enough.

Having the choice to be happy or not is a beautiful thing. I enjoy being happy and with that comes a lot of gratitude. Each day no matter what happens I always have at least 3 things to be grateful for and that alway seems to put a smile on my face
Great post HzChld

I agree, we choose what we feel. And I choose happy
Although I do know some (2 people) who seem totally happy when they are miserable...

Sorry just couldn't resist
Most folks are about as happy as they make their minds up to be.
Abraham Lincoln
The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.
Abraham Lincoln
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass…
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
