Can You Ever Be Happy Just Because?

Thursday, September 29, 2011

Is it possible to be happy for no reason at all? Robert Holden, Ph.D. thinks so.

Here's a link to an article I came across this morning from the "Heal Your Life" newsletter that I receive by email. At the right side of this page are links to many wonderful recent articles that you might also enjoy.

Now I think I'll go out on the back porch, soak in some of this beautiful weather we're having this morning, and have a good belly laugh!

    Good one, thanks for the article!. We don't have to put a condition on happiness, like we can only be happy IF ... and WHEN... NOW is a good time as any.

Here is another one you might like I received today, coincidentally..

    Great blog! It is a really great feeling to know that you aren't crazy for just being randomly happy!

    I remember as kids, just giggling and laughing because it was fun. Have you ever seen out-takes of news casters laughing and trying to put on straight face, and everyone just loses it?
Laughing is fun. That's why I joined the Dorkville Spark Team!

    Yes, I believe you can be happy just because. Whether we choose to be happy is another question.
