Happiness

by Cheryl Merrick

Is in the giving
not the getting
Not in having
but in sharing
In offering help
instead of snatching for yourself
In concern for others
instead of self absorption

In relationships
not acquisitions
In time to nurture
instead of fussing over needless possessions
In hours with family
instead of hours at your job
In peaceful moments
instead of hectic hustle
In time spent in communication
instead of commute
In learning and growing
instead of comatose staring
at a computer or TV screen
In making the world better
instead of waiting for problems 
to somehow solve themselves
In facing challenges
instead of waiting for them
to disappear
In using the talents we have
rather than demanding more
In gratitude
rather than selfish attitude
Happiness is something
you give
not what you get
