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.

Donna Roberts March 13, 2018 at 6:54 PM Enjoyed your happiness recipe.. I had posted a Life recipe a while back! Lunita Blanca March 13, 2018 at 10:48 PM I just read it Donna. Your Life recipe was written better than my Recipe of Happiness. We seem to think along the same lines.
