Happiness is an attitude.
We either make ourselves miserable,
or happy and strong.
The amount of work is the same.
Francesca Reigler

Open your eyes and quietly observe.....you will see what you are looking for.  Are you focused on beauty?  There is beauty in the gray sky and leafless trees.  I see the shapes of the branches, feathery tanglements against the soft gray background.  I see wonderful nests for birds and squirrels hidden by leaves in the spring and summer.  And just look at all that mysterious mistletoe.  Any bright color just pops out and adds just enough to add to but not disturb the peaceful beauty of a lovely gray day.  Look for the bright red cardinals chirping at the feeders and the graceful flight of wings in the air.  Look for bright blue and orange of the bluebirds flitting from roof to ground and tree.  Red and orange berries on branches hanging over the fence.  Then the calming shades of grays and browns, greens and blues blending and mingling all around.  I look for beauty, I find it and happiness is awakened.  Have a beautiful day.  And Praise the Lord for this Day He Has Made.

Psalm 118:24 (New International Version)

 24 This is the day the LORD has made;
       let us rejoice and be glad in it.
