Here are some interesting quotes about happiness you may enjoy reading, as much as I did.
'There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.' ~ by George Sand
'Whoever is happy will make others happy, too.' ~ by Mark Twain
'Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.' ~ by Thich Nhat Hanh
'You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.' ~ by Albert Camus
'If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under the radiator.' ~ by W. Beran Wolfe
My only Photo Journey? You have 3 blogs and a kid? LOL, how to manage all of that!?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the spring cheer and the tag, I am indeed happy these days because the weather is (mostly) good!
cheers

You are so right Anna, it is something we can share and it gives us great pleasure in doing it too. As they say, a smile costs nothing and most of the time we can all do with one or two or three...
ReplyDeleteWe can choose happiness. Sometimes that's hard though. I'm glad you're happy, I'm happy too.
ReplyDeleteanother quote that I like - "Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory." -- Albert Schweitzer (1875 - 1965)
ReplyDeletethanks for your visit and hope you're enjoying spring
Thank you Anna, for me it's a big loss, a great tragedy, yet I still do not believe it ...
ReplyDeleteAnna: Wild flowers are always a treat. It is great to have favorite blogs.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with you about sharing happiness. More you give, more you will get. Have a nice and lovely spring season.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
DSM
Thanks for posting the Happiness Anna ;)And I loved the sunny flowers spring capture, as well as the quotes, and hope you're enjoying spring and nice weather with Matthew daily my friend
ReplyDeleteHi Anna
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice post this is. It is so much nicer to be happy than miserable - my choice is happiness.
At the moment by one of my biggest sources of happiness is my grandchildren. What I find incredible is the amazing bond that exists between grandparents and grandchildren.
Thanks for all the visits.
I am still around, just had a bad case of bloogers block, but will try get back on board.
All the best Max
I'm a "spring-person", and seeing the world start to grow again really makes me grow too. Your yellow colours were a pleasure to see.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo. I also love Spring time, early to middle Spring before it gets too hot. We;ve been having some perfect weather the last few days. Hope it continues.
ReplyDeleteSpring definitely makes me happy as well. I definitely believe we can choose to be happy, even under the most trying of circumstances.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot Anna! Yes, I am still around :-)...been working outside in the gardens and woods as much as possible transplanting trees, thinning the garden to make room for the plants to grow and moving soil (lots of it!) to extend our gardens; all getting everything ready before the black flies come out in full force. As you are aware I've closed down my blog but will resume in the fall at the first hint of snow :-) Until then I will be visiting your site as much as possible as I have always done. And in response to your post, my greatest challenge is to follow the old mantra "Don't worry ...be happy", but like you I am trying to focus on the be happy part. I hope you and your husband and Matthew have a wonderful spring and summer. See ya later alligator :-) Take care of yourself.

Hi Anna Thanks for tagged me. There are so many bloggers that deserve to be tagged or awarded and it is so difficult to choose only some of them.
ReplyDeleteI like your spring photo very much. Little things make me happy. “…For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed”. :-)
Spring makes me so HAPPY :)))))
ReplyDeleteSun warm air I love it !!!!!
Nice spring post
:-)
Beautiful picture Anna and beautiful words too... I'm happy that you're citing some nice French authors there ;-) And their citation are so true! One has to wonder where his happiness is ;-)
ReplyDeletemost happy to be part of the list who make you happy. :)
ReplyDeleteMe too. cool shot and story.
ReplyDeleteLovely spring shot Anna, so full of life. Wonderful quotes, it's never to late to stop and smell the roses. As I've grown older happiness comes from the simple things in life and of course the greatest treasure in my life is my granddaughter and each minute I spend with her is pure joy. Hope you and Matthew are enjoying the spring season.
ReplyDeleteHi Anna :D!
ReplyDeleteSpring makes most of us happy! I really dislike winter (I can't stand the cold); and whenever I witness the flowers blossoming I feel happy and I am reminded of the cycle of life.
Enjoy your family moments and enjoy your mates :D!
Have a gorgeous weekend, darling! Ciao
Anna:
ReplyDeleteNo truer words were ever spoken. My Queen and I have always lived our lives according to our personal rule that happiness is a lifestyle.

ReplyDeleteYou caught me in mid post... I can only post one picture a a time... thanks for your wonderful comments

Sharing is giving! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletecheers
We are still battling winds and rain and cool temps. As a result things are green but not much in the way of flowers are in bloom yet. We're hoping.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post with beautiful image. Happiness will only increase by sharing with others.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I have fallen off the Happy List!
ReplyDeleteI can see everybody except me making you happy but MAX????
(As in MAX the Dissector of life and society)

I get it with Peter…I mean what is there not to like about Peter…he is a great guy…he makes me happy…but Max????
…and Swu…I mean who does not love Swu’s stories….but Max???
I get it with Tatiana …I mean Tatiana is one of the worlds perfect names…If I was a gal I would want to be a Tatiana…

ReplyDeleteYOU made me happy, Anna - since I know you many blogging days ago :)
Thanks for this post, my dear friend.
Finally I could make it to visit your blog again, sorry for the long absent time, you know, there was a lot going on, down here in sunny Florida - with all those palm trees...LOL...
Susanne
lovely and the yellow just stands out!
ReplyDeleteA lovely photo, Anna. One eventually reaches a point in life when one realizes that being happy depends a great deal (not completely, perhaps) on choosing to be happy....
