Sanna,

Very easy to write.

Much, much, much more difficult to do.

Simple rules? I think not.

Hatred I dont have, but what about dislike? Is disliking someone or something OK ?

Worries I wouldnt have if I didnt care. When I care for someone, its only natural that I will worry about that person. So how can I free myself from that? Stop caring?

Live simply, that I can try to do.

Give more, that I try to do everyday.

Expect less, does that mean I wont want/expect my children to do well ?

Guess I can try a bit harder ?

Thanks Sanna :-*

You can tell that I love doing soul-searching, don't ya? ;)

That title "simple rules" is not created by me; that is its original title.

I can see that this post has made you think about happiness. I'm glad. :)

When I saw this message on the Beliefnet message list email, I wanted to post it here because I felt that today we have been dealing with many serious issues, which is good, but can get to you. So I thought that thinking about happier issue would made a nice balance.

I'm currently reading Byron Katie's novel "Loving What It Is. Four Questions That Can Change Your Life". That's how I'm getting relaxed this Friday... ;;D

Hugs,
Sanna
