A beautiful thought from the Buddha blogged by Doug Does Life. It dovetails nicely with a contribution from one of my students this morning. She quoted Harold B. Lee: “Happiness does not depend on what happens outside of you, but on what happens inside of you.”
Inside of me today I had lots of happy thoughts:
* Was able to visit some lovely ladies tonight, who shared with me their stories of faith and answered prayers.
* Had a nice conversation with one of my daughters, which always makes my day.
* My mom called me to share a joke and keep me up to date on her antics; she always makes me smile.
* Another day (24 in a row!) of being “sugar-free.” In this sense, happiness really is about what is going on inside! When I take better care of my physical body by eating right and exercising, my spirit also feels strong and more positive energy flows.
* Hubby made me dinner and also took care of the clean up tonight so I could fulfill my visiting assignment.
* Life is good! I appreciate all my blessings.
Making Life an Art 
I don’t have friends where I am but it’s okay.
I spoke with my daughter in Ireland and heard the grands doing their normal before dinner squabbles.
Texted my son i Miami, Fl. 10 time. Along with my sis in the same place,
Spoke with my Daddy for 8 minutes, it’s a joke between us that he can’t be on the phone longer than 5 minutes. He’s 86 yo and in great shape.
Fell asleep in front of the TV as usual, can’t stay waked if I sit down to watch no matter what’s on.
Life is good! If it weren’t so cold. lol
Miami is only good to live in the winter months. Summers are WAY too hot!
You have not spent a summer in Oklahoma….way worse.
