Don’t Worry….Be Happy

Forget about work today
Forget about bills to pay
Step out onto the deck of life,
Take a minute and hug the wife.

Enjoy all this that God has made.
Pour yourself a glass of tea and sit in the shade.
Love today like there is no tomorrow
Lift you eyes up and look past the sorrow.

Be happy this day…
Take in joy, smile a little
And always stop long enough to pray.

Think about this! For every day you didn't smile back at a child or wonder at a new flower or the sky...you will never get that chance back again. That's why we call it history. Life is the small details and you are in charge!
Thank you for stopping to be thankful.
Love and blessings!
