All my life I have felt like it is a weakness to be Happy! Just Happy!
I was lead to believe that to be taken seriously, and considered intelligent, one had to be somewhat brooding, and tragic even.
That to be Happy! was to be flighty or fanciful.
My family, though filled with good people, always thought Happy-ness needed a reason or cause..."What do you have to be so Happy about" was a common phrase heard in our house...uttered in my direction, by my father.
"You sound so Happy it's almost criminal" from my Aunt after an email I sent just describing a few weeks in my life.

I am here now and very very Happy! to report that this is no longer my considered opinion, and that I now relish in my Happy!-ness, and you can too!!
That's the best part....Marci's book and the tools and exercises included are geared towards everyone with an interest, being able to achieve Happy! in their lives.
For me, this discovery was a true godsend for it put my mind at rest, and set my spirit free, and allowed me to finally feel that it is indeed OK to feel truly "Happy for No Reason"
My intent here is to share this book with you, share the tools, share my experiences and encourage you to do the same.

Inspired by my connection to the book "Happy For No Reason", I am now embarking upon the next and truly amazing phase of my own life.

Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.

Strive to be happy.
--- Max Ehrmann, 1927

Very nice.
Thanks!

He could clear the savannah after every meal

And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And oh, the shame
(He was ashamed!)
Thoughta changin' my name
(Oh, what's in a name?)
And I got downhearted
(How did you feel?)
Ev'rytime that I...
Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!
Oh... sorry.

Astrology Secrets - Pisces Men
You've got your Piscean man but how do you keep him? The answer is to keep him happy, but how do you do that?

­Pisces: 20th February - 20th March
What Keeps Piscean Men Happy?

Astrology tells us that Piscean men are happy when they are in a bath, swimming pool, hot-tub or the sea. Aquarian man cannot abide long periods of being on land as they are like the proverbial "fish out of water" or, more correctly "a floater among those who sink". The key to a Piscean man's happiness is liquid based.

The obvious way to keep a Piscean man happy is to keep him submerged. If you have sufficient land I suggest you start digging your pool immediately. If you have sufficient funds ensure you own a Floridian property with an extra large outside pool. To prove you love a Piscean, which will make him happy, will involve tears. Tears of sadness when you part; tears of joy when you meet; tears of happiness and of pride when he accomplishes even the most simplest of tasks. Never serve a meal without a soup course or a main without a sauce or gravy. Dry food is apt to depress him. Make sure the bathroom is always available when he requires it and make sure you have endless supplies of hot water to keep him topped up over the long hours he will spend underwater in there. You should have a water feature in every room and your garden should have fountains and, if funds allow, be on the sea-front or next to a river.

When You Shouldn't Use the Knowledge to Make Your Piscean Man Happy

Don't use any of these tactics if your Piscean man is not appreciative. Don't use any of these tactics if you are uncomfortable with them. Don't use any of these tactics if your man doesn't make you happy.
