Some very good tips from "You Docs" (aka Mehmet Oz and Mike Roizen):

Not everyone’s born happy or grows up in cheerful surroundings. But here’s how to build deep-down feelings of happiness:

• Go with the flow. Lose yourself in absorbing experiences and doing things you love. It could be spending more time with your family, walking in the woods, playing a sport, doing art projects, even playing with a pet or working at a job you love.

• Value yourself. Tap your inner strengths. For example, if you’re great with numbers, help a volunteer group keep its books. You’ll get a big happiness-booster: a more meaningful life.

• Appreciate what is. Take time to relish the pleasures around you: vine-ripe tomatoes at a farmers’ market, great music (like your favourite high-school hits) on the radio, a kid’s flying hug. Let others know when you appreciate them, too. Gratitude multiplies happiness.

Good advice. Going forward I'm going to make a conscious effort to follow it....

Remove all hate from ur heart......

Happiness has to come from an inner place where no one but my God and I can go and no one else can tear through or seek to tad it down.

Since Uzie's (my dog) diagnosis I have learned to be in the moment more, drink in a moment in the woods, the sunshine through the trees and little things like that. I'm not happy overall, but I try to link together little moments.

Surround yourself with other happy people.

Don't look down, look up.

Let the fart out and get enough sleep.

go shopping!!!
