Chasing happiness is a fool’s game. One can’t catch what can’t see. When we chase happiness we ar chasing an illusion. We may think we know what happiness is; yet, when we acquire what we believed happiness to be, it’s not long before we renew our chase for our new vision of happiness. This kind of happiness is what commercials sell us. We don’t find happiness, happiness finds us. It finds us we stop our chase to acquire happiness and turn our attention outside of ourselves toward others. The path toward happiness counterintuitive. We find it in contributing to society, encouraging others, and righting injustices. Do you dare to let go of a self pursuit of happiness and counterintuitively contribute to making a difference in the lives of those closest to you?

Our Daily Bread ~ A Poem by C S Lewis
Our Daily Bread
C S Lewis
We need no barbarous words nor solemn spell
To raise the unknown. It lies before our feet;
There have been men who sank down into Hell
In some suburban street,
And some there are that in their daily walks
Have met archangels fresh from sight of God,
Or watched how in their beans and cabbage-stalks
Long files of faerie trod.
Often me too the Living voices call
In many a vulgar and habitual place,
I catch a sight of lands beyond the wall,
I see a strange god’s face.
And some day this work will work upon me so
I shall arise and leave both friends and home
And over many lands a pilgrim go
Through alien woods and foam,
Seeking the last steep edges of the earth
Whence I may leap into that gulf of light
Wherein, before my narrowing Self had birth,
Part of me lived aright.

Aging happens! Botox, plastic surgery, and creams can’t stop aging. Aging is not so bad if you help shape its direction. Our hormonal health may take a hit as we age, but we can do things to slam the brakes on and slow it down before it hits the run off ramp.

If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking ~ A Poem by Emily Dickinson
If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking
Emily Dickinson
If I can stop one Heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one Life the Aching,
Or cool one Pain,
Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
