Happiness…The secret of happines is giving instead of taking

‐ 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 month; get married.

‐ If you want happiness for a year; inherit a fortune. 

‐ If you want happiness for a lifetime; help someone else. Chinese Proverb

Acknowledging and honouringEveryone supporting others
