Happiness Is

Happiness is not the lottery 
Something you win or lose
Happiness is not a delivery
You're not born with it we choose

Happiness is not something 
Reserved for just a select few
Happiness is a choice not a sin
Without a doubt this is true!

VERY GOOD, AND SO VERY TRUE, EXCELLENT LY WRITTEN. Happiness is none of the material things you mentioned, but a choice. We must choose to be happy despite all what is going on around us.

Wise words, dear Scarlett!! It is nice to see you writing on the Soup! And I saw on the blog comment, that you weren't deterred by the ivasion of that one "bad apple" that was trying to undermine the kind people here! Thank you for staying with us and having faith that he would be kicked off! (He's gone for now...let's hope that's the end of it:) Welcome to the soup! Love, Carrie
