Don't Worry. Be Happy

The thought for the day yesterday was,

“Be happy for this moment.
This moment is your life.”
~ Omar Khayyám
It kind of reminds me of the lyrics to the song,
Don't Worry. Be Happy.

While I have many reasons to worry
(and I can worry with the best of worry-ers)
I am trying to be happy.

I have lots to be happy about...
My 3rd grandson,
8 healthy children,
a visit from my youngest brother,
time at the coast,
cars that run,
a cold can of Diet Coke
a warm summer sun,
food on the table,
a loving family,
vodka Martinis at Tad's,
a hot shower in the morning,
abundant berries and veggies,
the smell of fresh cut grass,
kids that help around the house,
Pandora and new music,
Green Olives,
my Nikon even if it is getting old,
a cool looking compass,
and good friends.

So tomorrow I will try to Be Happy for each moment,
because each moment is my life.
Even if some of the moments might remind me more of the book
"Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day."
I will try not to worry, and
Be Happy!
