flower by a stream, seagulls circling over the ocean, laughter of little children,
a call from a friend, a challenge met.  The "happiness quotes" above gives us
some insights into the essence of happiness.  Happiness comes from celebrating
the moment - not waiting for all our problems to be solved.  Happiness comes 
from cultivating a thankful heart.
