Why not be happy

Life isn't hard, but sometimes we make it that way.  My family is healthy and we are all capable to live independent.  We have been blessed with much, so much is expected.  Finding happiness in the day, no matter how difficult it might seem ~ is so important.  My father was a constant happy man.  To the grocery clerk, the people at church, the random neighbor, the people he worked with, my friends, my kids friends....  His philosophy was "Make the best of everything"   "Why not be happy"  "I am not going to let "that" get me down" and boy did I send some stuff his way to let him down!!!  He never let me know it.  He always was happy to see me.  A hug and a smile.  You get more flies with honey than vinegar.  I miss him so much but I know his spirit lives on through me and my kids.  I feel his philosophy in my words as I coach my interns at work, or my own children, even my mom.

I am taking my dad's advise today. "Why not be happy" I hope you do too.  For additional Haack family insight on happiness - read Amanda's blog.
