We were at the mall the other day to get our walk, and we had been walking all around each of the halls and going into some of the stores when we realized that a candy store was having a sale to unload their left over Christmas candy. This nice young lady appeared with a small plate of samples, and who can resist dark chocolate. So we looked around and decided that Mom would like a box of mixed chocolates and some Christmas ribbon candy. While I was paying, HW2 noticed a quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln that was framed and hanging behind the cash register on their wall.
"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." A. Lincoln
When the tire hits the road, that is the bottom line, and I think that Abe has it correct. We make our own happiness, and it is not dependent upon others. So, if I might give a small piece of advice, "Make this day one where you find happiness in small things and if given the chance share with others." HW2 finds that when she smiles at others, she gets smiles in return. Keep smiling!!!!!

We also thought that it was quite ironic that the quote came from Lincoln, as he was known to have chronic bouts of melancholia. Of course, that also might have been the result of being married to Mary Todd!
