Chinese Fortune Cookie: "Happiness is an attitude." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Happiness is an attitude,” the fortune cookie said, Which I reiterate each time I free myself from bed. It’s true many things are improved by a smile So I plaster it on, ‘til it holds; and in awhile I find that I'm smiling, and the problems go away Like a miracle -- but it happens just that way. Laughter is a dose I take every day. It’s as good as vitamins if included with lots of play. And don’t forget the pause to savor all the roses Then choose a hobby -- one that totally engrosses. These are the wonders that revitalize one's soul They undo the stress and make life really droll. “Happiness is an attitude,” the fortune cookie said. And I concur for it’s the goal in everybody’s head. When life gets muddled, and joy seems out of reach, Like the cookie is saying, it’s an attitude to teach. Through our smiles, laughter, and doing what's fun, We can find our own happiness before the day is done. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Honorable Mention Out Of Our Tree Contest Favorites "Invalid Item" A Couple Of Nuts Pick Their Favorites in a Contest Results Announced! by: Hooves of Fire
