SPREADING HAPPINESS

Sharing is form of kindness, spreads Happiness.
People, usually surprised to receive. 
Readily appreciate, happy, and to be truthful,
Even more appreciated when we are the recipient! 
Always reminds us there is so much more, we certainly should
Do, can imitate the givers kindness. We can
Imitate their unselfishness. Experience truth of,  “more happiness in giving.”
Never, under estimate happiness of just being greeted with a,
"Good morning and how are you?"  Wow! Made them … smile.

Happiness comes from outside circumstances, people, stuff, etc.
And as said, gives unexpected Happiness.
Personally I value Joy, and I
Prefer it over Happiness. Joy springs from
Inside me! Independent on any outside influences, nice or not.
No one, nothing can rob me of my Joy, only me.
Easy to get caught up in daily survival, but Dear friend,
Someone’ somewhere is lonely, grieving, remember how that feels?
Send someone a card, text, or call.  Make someone happy … and God smile.

and then again, receiving with grace and warmth too is an art! Now where did I read, ‘the giver should be grateful?’
