A LOT of people in today’s world is looking for SOMEONE, SOMETHING, or SOMEWHERE to MAKE them happy.

No one or nothing can MAKE you FEEL any way without your permission.

In the words of the great philosopher Clint Black: “Wherever you go, there you are!”

If you aren’t happy here, you won’t be happy there. If you’re expecting some THING or some ONE to make you happy…you won’t find happy for the long term. Until you intentionally DECIDE to be happy, you probably won’t be. It’s amazing how much HAPPY you can find in perpetuity looking for someone to help…with a kind word of encouragement, a helping hand (occasionally), and anonymous gift to get them out of a financial bind (it is much better to be anonymous or they’ll come back again and again…and act like you’re a selfish prick if you don’t perpetually “help” them get out of a bind. Some folks have to hit rock bottom to understand that they had it great, while with some folks an anonymous help can get them over the hump.

But if “they’re just not happy” with no explanations…they either don’t want to give an explanation, or either y’all have discussed it over and over with either one or both of y’all unable to see or hear the other’s point of view.

Prayers for it to go as well as possible.
