Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

We tend to forget that happiness doesnÃ¯Â¿Â½t come as a result of getting something we donÃ¯Â¿Â½t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have. ~Frederick Keonig

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery while on a detour. ~Author Unknown

The world is full of people looking for spectacular happiness while they snub contentment. ~Doug Larson

Love all of today's quotes. The one by the unknown author describes me. Unless I had to be somewhere at a certain time, getting lost in the car was always fun.
The Keonig one you can look at from two sides. There are certain things I am glad that I don't have, like the flu, arthritis or bedbugs!

What great quotes for an unexpected snowy morning!

The one by Doug Larson echoes what I wrote on our Christmas cards to people for 2015. I (we) didn't wish them happiness, but health, safety, and contentment. Those are the three 'biggies' in our world!
