Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I possess

Happiness was a theme much espoused by Ken Dodd, now, sadly, departed.

I was inspired to write this:

Why bemoan a lack of happiness?

Happiness is the present you give to yourself, or to others.
You can be generous or mean with this gift, it is completely up to you.
It is something you can share out, equally if you so wish you can refuse it entirely.

It is often used as a motivator. As in ‘I won’t be happy until . . .’
The conditions can be simple or severe but your happiness here is at stake.

Choose your happiness triggers well . . .
. . . if you want to be happy.

Be kind to yourself,
you deserve it :smiley:
