If You’re Happy and You Know It

HAPPY? Baby, I was born this way

If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands…If you’re happy and you now it than you’re face should surely show it. If you’re happy and you know it say AMEN.”

If you’ve ever been accused of being “too happy,” this post is for you.

If you’ve been accused of being passive aggressive; feeding on the snarkiness of life, this is also for you, but you’ll need to read it twice.

Happy people are much more productive than the passive aggressive souls who work hard at throwing rocks and hiding their hands.

Happy folks walk in with their hands up. They know when to surrender and they are happy even when they are not right.

Happy people live longer, are healthier and are more productive than people who are angry, and feel isolated in a crowded room.

Happy people have the same amount and degree of problems as everyone else; they face their troubles with joy.

Happy people are fun to be with, make you smile, make you feel better about yourself and your situation and they know how to party---sober.

Happy people do not feed on the misery of others; their food is the joy of life.

Happy people don’t need drama; they adore nature. Even their enemies call them blessed.

Happy people turn a complaint into a solution, a research problem or a song.

“There’s a new world coming and it’s just around the bend…coming in peace, coming in joy, coming in love.”

Be you, be well, be happy.
