HAPPINESS IS A FRAME OF MIND

-
The actions of people either in your everyday life or stories you hear on the news will affect you in some way.

Sometimes you may feel:
Sad
Angry
Frustrated
Depressed

It’s okay to feel these emotions.
Sometimes these feelings are an essential springboard to moving forward in your life.

Feel these feelings and move through them, but don’t choose to always be Sad, Angry, Frustrated or Depressed.

Make the choice to be Happy.
It’s always your choice and always will be your choice.

Watching low flying airplanes with my Grandson
Helpful people

Overindulgence only adds to your stress a
