I have made this remark many times many paces and I firmly believe it. Everyone is entitled to their own little piece of happy in this world. If they can find it. At this time of year it becomes clear so many people try to fake they are happy in an attempt to generate the feeling. The problem with that is happy is not a time of year, or a place you can go. Happy is a feeling that lives within your heart. If you have it, it is with you no mater where you go, and no matter what time of year it is. Some times forces will work to try to take your happy away, but what these outside forces do not realize is, they can not ever touch your happy if you do not allow them into your heart. We should all have a little happy for ourselves, but sometimes we let it slip away from us.
I was watching an old TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL rerun this morning. Have any of you ever seen this? It is a show about angles that walk among us. They were singing a song on it today, and one of the lines dealt with being a believer and turning your back on the deceiver. That line touched me, because so many of us do not know how to do that. We fall for the deception sent to us by the devil and in doing so allow our happy in our hearts to slip away from us.
If I had just one wish to be granted to everyone this holiday season and all year round it would be that everyone find their little piece of happy and hold it tight within their hearts for every, because we only get one go around in this world. Some of you may know I have a nephew who passed away a couple weeks before his birthday in September from a long battle with cancer. He fought it 4 times and won 3 of the times. The fourth time the cancer won. I am not telling you all this to bum you out. The reason I am telling you this is right up till his last day my nephew did what made him happy. Just 2 days before his death, all though he could hardly walk he wanted to go to the races with his brother. His brother is a race car driver. His brother and his family did everything they had to do to make it happen, and if anyone sees my nieces face book page they will see a picture on it tagged off to the races. It was taken that very race day, and stands as a testament to never letting go of what makes you happy no matter how bad things get. My nephew knew he was going to die and still he held onto his happy till the last. I have never seen a cancer patient with as much life in him as my nephew. For a long time he would take his chemo and then go to work right after, but the day came when he could no longer do it. His body was shutting down but the love of life and the happy in his heart never left him. So if there is one thing I can wish for you all it is that you hold onto your happy when you find it as hard as my nephew held onto his. Never let anyone or anything take it from you .
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON. And if you have not found your happy yet do not stop looking it is out there waiting for you to allow it into your heart.
