Reading Understandably every morning makes me happy. I hope that doesn't put too much pressure on Bill Murphy Jr.

A quotation from Abraham Lincoln,“A man is usually about as happy as he has made up his mind to be” still holds true. Happiness means different things to different people so it’s hard to believe all the different studies. Is it material wealth? Getting the best car, motorcycle, getting into the best school, taking another trip, or is it just being grateful for what we have and sharing it with others, being a shoulder to cry on or a having an ear that will always listen, just bringing a new dessert to a party or taking a few minutes to pick up a prescription for a neighbor? Chasing “happiness” is a full time job for some people but if I may end with another quotation that is also true:” Happiness is a butterfly, if when pursued, is often just beyond our grasp, but if we would sit down quietly, might alight upon us.”
