IF…


If you want happiness for an hour - take a nap.

If you want happiness for a day - go fishing.

If you want happiness for a year - inherit a fortune.

If you want happiness for a lifetime - help someone else.

    Fishing is not my idea of a happy day.

      And that I do agree on Ginny :) Always feels so good helping others. Even if it's only in a very small way, it has the most wonderful ripple effect..

    Cute, but fishing is boring.

      As one who used to go fishing with my dad as a child, I loved my dad's company but did not enjoy fishing :)
