Finding Happiness

Heavy the weight of the world at times Another day of life’s many challenges Perspective is often so very hard to find Pursuing the warmth of spirit we call happiness In every man the challenge to find his own Noticing the wonder and beauty in small things Enjoying the sun and a good apple pie So quickly the days pass and we forget to be happy Sometimes just a hug can make the difference Barbara Gorelick 12/17/15

A hug....so true. I get lots of happy hugs from my 3yr. old granddaughter. If I am not being that affectionate she asks for a hug and it makes my day! Loved your entry. Congratulations Barbara! #7

Hi, Barbara. I like to thank you for your comment this morning. I am reading your acrostic of " Finding Happiness " and the last line has caught my eye, " Sometimes just a hug can make a difference. " Perhaps more than gifts, a hug is needed at this time of year for so many who seek love. I love your poem and the warm sentiment you express with truthful words. Have a Very Merry Christmas with your loved ones. Hugs, Andrew.
