How to Be Happy.

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....

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.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

I realized as I read this that I do this stuff already.
