If you can’t be happy about everything, then just be happy…
““If you can’t be happy about everything, then just be happy about something, or some thing. Surely there is one thing in your life, at the very least, that you are happy about— perhaps as simple as being happy you have the ability to read these words and understand the concept proposed. Some people are happy at just being alive. I know I am. It sure beats the alternative.””
