Quotes About Happiness


I was thinking about happiness and went looking for some good happiness quotes. It’s something that we really all do need to find for ourselves. It’s my honest belief that happiness has to come from within ourselves…If we aren’t happy, never will we be able to make anyone else happy. Also, the thought that only happiness can be reached by another person or persons handing it to us? That’s so not going to happen, that’s just the way it is in real life. Maybe I’m not saying it the right way, I’m sure the quotes speak better than I can. I hope you kind readers enjoy them! 🙂

A Faery Ring


The faeries gather in a ring

the birds start to sing

a happy tune

it’s just past noon

the meeting of the troop

they’re circled in a group

glad to have a meet

they smile as each one they greet

a lot to share

they all care

so very much

and now they must

talk and decide

and also confide

how the wish to grow

and they all know

their magic lives

and also gives

hope to humans around

and love must be found

to help all that wish to be

loved and free …
