Happiness is like manna; it is to be gathered and enjoyed every day.
—Tryon Edwards

Life is like a winding path surrounded by flowers, butterflies, and
delicious fruit, but many of us spend much of life looking for
happiness around the next corner. We do not bend to enjoy the
happiness, which is ours for the taking just at our feet.

In our desire to reach the "pot of gold," the complete and lasting
happiness we all want to fill our lives, we ignore anything which
doesn't seem worthy of such a large ambition, or which can't give
us the whole thing all at once.

Happiness is all around us, but it often comes in small grains.
When we gather it grain by grain, we soon have a basketful.

Like this thought. I can choose to be happy or I can chose to be sad. Both are feelings, and both okay to feel. They will both pass, so when we live in the moment, we can process life and take it as it comes.

I like the thought of grains of happiness, picking them up and putting them in a basket. The one thing I must remember. They need to be enjoyed in today. Tomorrow never comes. Each day is a new beginning.
