So very true..... dear friend. Happiness has nothing to do with one's possessions. It all depends on one's attitude !

Greek philosophers said the same thing some 2500 years ago. Thank you so much for your precious visit and comment. . The word "idea" refers to something we do not see with the eye but with our mind! Blessings!
