One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken.
I am happy for every minute I am getting to spend in my gardens this summer. This is a picture of what I call my wonky garden. Its full of oregano, mint, yarrow, lemon thyme, wild buttercup and all manner of meadow flowers.
I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.
I am so thankful to see my children growing and succeeding. My daughter moved into her own apartment this weekend and is now gainfully employed!
God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
C. S. Lewis
I could not agree with this quote more. With Christ in my life all happiness is brightened and even the strongest of life’s sorrows is weakened by the knowledge that My God shall swallow it all into Himself one day as I worship Him.
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
Denis Waitley
I am so happy to have had a great weekend with my son. I am also very happy to be back to work and to be finally catching up with all my writing, correspondence and ministry work!

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
I was so happy to be able to attend a performance of the Collegeville Community Music School’s opera Pride & Prejudice. The opera conducted by son’s good friend Emilily Kosasih consisted of both professional and amateur performers. The entire orchestra was made up of students under the age of 18 and the lead pianist was all of 12. It was amazing!

To forget oneself is to be happy.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I am so happy to have been able to take the weekend, kick back and enjoy myself. Since coming back I have found it hard to catch up with posting but I am managing to stay pretty relaxed about it!
Happiness isn’t something you experience; it’s something you remember.
While I am not sure how I feel aout this quote I am interested in the role memory plays on happiness. I am happy for two hundred and fifty years of memories for my hometown!
What role do you think memory plays in happiness?
The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.

I know I have used this picture before but I don’t have any of the new ones shot yet. I am happy that I am heading to PA tonight to spend the weekend with my son.
Happiness depends more on how life strikes you than on what happens.
