You Deserve To Be Happy

Young Or Old Or Inbetween

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
What makes you feel Happy?

“The purpose of our lives is to be happy”.

We always want

to see our children happy and giggling

as they play,

learning new skills,

every single day.

Why not us adults?

We deserve just as much happiness.

As life moves on and we get older,

with more responsibilities,

we tend to ‘forget’ this.

The dolphin

has a permanent Smile —

why not us?

Dogs wag their tails when they are happy,

especially when we give them attention —

why not give ourselves some attention?

I love cats (tame and wild)

and when I see one,

I just have to stroke it (only the tame ones mind you),

smiling and chatting away —

it makes me feel Happy.

What makes you feel Happy?

Do something

that makes you feel Happy,

every single day,

because

you Deserve to be Happy.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
