"A Cherokee Feast Of Days"

January 8

Please try to be happy. Not just in outer things

But in those of the heart. Too many things

Exist to interfere with outer emotions. Go where

You can relax in the knowledge that happiness is

Something deep in your heart.

Some stretch their hands out to catch the stars

And forget the flowers at their feet. We cannot

Ignore those things nearest us and expect happiness,

For happiness is born within. Our hearts contain all

The tools for creating happiness. As elusive as it

Sometimes seems, happiness does exist--and it is

Closer than we think.

Happiness is not only good in itself, but it is healthful.

-HOPI
