I needed this reminder...maybe you do too.<P>We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with.<P>We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are we able to go on a nice vacation, or when we retire.<P>The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. Happiness is the way. <P>So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special <BR>enough to spend your time with...and remember that time waits for no one.<P>So, stop waiting....<P>--until your car or home is paid off<BR>--until you get a new car or home<BR>--until your kids leave the house<BR>--until you go back to school<BR>--until you finish school<BR>--until you lose 10 lbs.<BR>--until you gain 10 lbs.<BR>--until you get married<BR>--until you get a divorce<BR>--until you have kids<BR>--until you retire<BR>--until summer<BR>--until spring<BR>--until winter<BR>--until fall<BR>--until you die<P>There is no better time than right now to be happy.<BR>Happiness is a journey, not a destination.<BR>So-work like you don't need money.<BR>Love like you've never been hurt.<BR>And dance like no one's watching.<P>If you want to brighten someone's day, pass this on to someone special, I just did.<P>Got this in an email.

It is a good email. But tonight I don't want to be happy! Tonight I want to scream! I'll save happy for tomorrow.<P>Now what is up? You like keeping people in suspense or what?<P>

Or give you a tummy ache. <P>Now I like that writeup. It made me feel good. We NEED to find something good in each day. Some days are definitely harder than others. <P>Ok, now cough it up.....what are you keeping in suspense?<P>L.<P>
