Happiness, Like a Slice of Summer Sunshine
They’re making us a sunshine sandwich this weekend: one slice of radiant sun, piled high with fresh greens and whipped clouds, between two freshly baked days of rain.
It’s a yummy treat, common in this part of the country as spring comes to a close.
We’re especially fond of the filling. It tastes like summer, warm and spicy on our tongues. And we’re careful not to let a morsel of it go to waste. We inhale the bright fragrance of it. We let its flavor roll around in our mouths for awhile. We savor it long after the last bit of it is gone.
It’s kind of like the way you meet a slice of happiness, tucked between slabs of ordinary days and made all the brighter by its contrast with them. You just surrender to it and let the taste of it flow through your whole being, filling you with its gladness and joy. And when the last bit of it fades into ordinary again, you carry the feeling of it with you and it satisfies your mind and nourishes your soul.

live .love ;laugh talk about a short story …lol
You know Susan, just about everyone I’m reading these days sums up their work pretty much the same way… after I’ve read all their other stuff, of course. LOL In fact, two of my favorite reads – Abraham and Dr. Robert Anthony – need only two to three words
BE HAPPY! The third word is often important to throw in because we’re so programmed for delayed gratification. What is that third word?
NOW!
So putting it all together, the entire purpose of life is to BE HAPPY NOW! And when you get that part right, the Universe will reward you by sending you MORE stuff about which to BE HAPPY NOW!
The bottom line reason why anyone does anything is so that they can BE HAPPY NOW. So just cut to the chase – actually stop chasing all the other people, places and things you think will bring you happiness – and just BE HAPPY NOW. Then all those people, places and things will start chasing YOU!
BE HAPPY NOW!
All the best from Toronto,
