I chose to be happy and there is for good reason. There is more and more evidence that happy people are healthy people. That should be reason enough, but here is another. Being happy for others is a form of giving, which builds your own happiness.
Today I played golf with some real good friends. Micki couldn’t play because of a pulled muscle in her shoulder, so I had to sacrifice myself and play without Micki.
Our good friends Linda and Mike are really getting into golf and like to play as much as they can. Me I love being outside and I enjoy the company, but to tell you the truth golf is not a passion for me.
We are going to get to the good part pretty soon, so stay tuned. Linda only started playing golf two years ago and I must say she sure has improved from when she first started playing.
She and Mike went through dozens and dozens of lesson and hours on the practice range. I must say all their effort is starting to show results.
Just so you know Linda hits real will off the tee. To give you a for instance, Mike and I hit from the men’s tee and Linda hits from women’s. In the resent past Linda, even with her hitting yards in front of Mike and I was seldom close to your drives.
Recently something has happened and Linda’s tee shots were starting to get close to our tee shots.
Will it finally happened, on the third hole which is a very long par four, Linda did it. She not only out drove me, and I must say I thought I had a pretty good drive, her ball blasted past by mine by at least seventy five yards.
The saving grace was Mike hit his best drive, I think forever, and was about the same distance off the tee as Linda.
To answer the question should I be sad or happy. That is easy. I was so happy for Linda I could of given her a big hug right there on the third tee, but with Mike there I thought better of it.
When your’ happy for other it only helps to build your own happiness.
Happiness with wealth to you
