Tame Your Thoughts

From restless thoughts, that, like a deadly swarm 

Of hornets arm'd, no sooner found alone, 

But rush upon me thronging. 

~ John Milton

Sometimes this is exactly how I feel about my thoughts.....they are restless, they rush upon me, and many many times they are negative!  I am constantly telling myself to "tame my thoughts" - and nothing tames them better than a walk in nature.

5 Thoughts On Happiness

1.  For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness. 

 ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

2.  People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.

― Abraham Lincoln

3. Happiness is not a possession to be prized, it is a quality of thought, a state of mind.

 - Daphne du Maurier

4.  The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.” 

 -  J.M. Barrie

5.  . . . All that is required to feel that here and now is happiness is a simple, frugal heart.

 — Nikos Kazantzakis

Really - it's all about our attitudes, isn't it?  We need to make the choice to be happy - and then BE!
