Recipe For Happiness

Here is my recipe for happiness: In a large bottle of water add the following and mix. A teaspoon of patience A teaspoon of zeal A tablespoon of faith A tablespoon of kindness A tablespoon of sincerity Two tablespoons of tolerance Two tablespoons of confidence Two tablespoons of courage Two cups of hope Two cups love Take the mixture to the woods and breath natures breath and sip until you finish the potion. Just remember, happiness is achieved more fully from doing good than from being good.

I just read it Donna. Your Life recipe was written better than my Recipe of Happiness. We seem to think along the same lines.
