Only today I was pondering they why’s and wherefore’s of happiness. Sure, I know it when I myself feel it; I sense it from others intuitively when it shows on their faces and in gestures; I long for it in my life. But as to how we get to a state of happiness, well, its all a little mysterious to me.
If you want happiness for an hour – take a nap. If you want happiness for a day – go fishing. If you want happiness for a month – get married. If you want happiness for a year – inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime – help someone else.

So in order to climb into that seductive, coveted state called happiness some good folk I know did as the above Chinese Proverb prescribes, and went fishing for the day.
Combining sunshine, warm weather, food and drink, affable folk and a hearty appetite for fun, how could Happiness not also wish to join in! Indeed, she has a Golden Circle, Access-All-Areas Pass, and is forever welcome. This fine summer’s day, rocking and rolling on the high seas, Happiness joined us. So glad she did.

The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.
