Good morning Mikel and RallyPoint! Remember the old quote, "Happiness is a warm puppy."? My pup is twelve and he makes me happy every day! That makes others around me happy as well.

Goodness do I ever agree with you on this one. I literally get really wonky without my dog. She's my therapy animal but has a few other jobs, too. One of them is called "face full of sand"... I'll have to try to send you guys a picture!

COL Mikel J. Burroughs Good morning. Happiness is always our goal, but the path there is never clear, and many times no one tells us how exactly to get there. Of course, we more mature gentlemen, learn... overtime, happiness is based not on your circumstances, but on your attitude. Not what happens, but how we react and move on. Real Happiness is internal. If you are searching for happiness around you, you will likely never find in. You will really find it only when you look within.
