How Do You Spell Happy?
Dan Rodgers
Psalm 68:3
TEXT: Psalm 68:3, But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
HUMOR: One day an old man was sitting on a park bench crying. A policeman noticed him and asked why he was crying. "Well," said the old man, "I just got married to a beautiful twenty-five year old woman. She is the sweetest thing you would ever want to meet—and so loving and so full of energy. Every morning she makes me a wonderful breakfast. While I'm waiting for breakfast, she has my coffee and paper in place. In the afternoon she makes me the best lunch; then we hold hands and go for a walk together. At dinner time she makes me a meal fit for a king.

For you, to be happy means burying yourself in a project or a hobby—doing something that brings personal gratification and pleasure.
For others, happiness may be the contentment you find in your career—you're doing the exact thing you've always wanted to do—the thing you went to school for...you like your job.
