Welcome to Thursday Inspiration!
This week’s theme is happy and the image is below. Here is the song snippet from “If It Makes You Happy,” a 1996 song written and performed by Sheryl Crow.
If it makes you happy
It can’t be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?

~*~
Looking for happiness
Searching everywhere
I catch it for a while
Then it floats away on the wind
Why is it so elusive?
Why is never lasts?
It took me a long time to understand
That I can be only happy
If I stop chasing the emotion
And start cherishing it as a rare treasure

Is it true happiness
When a comes from a glass
Sure, you feel it
At the time
But what about after
When the sun rises and you are alone
Trust is broken
Friends are lost
Is it true happiness
When the repercussions are so sad

happy should not ne a high but a long lasting glow, very nicely written Sadje, we could all do well to find what makes us truly happy not just momentarily.

Exactly Gina. It has to be a state of mind, not a flash in the pan.
