Happiness Everywhere

     Last year I was privileged enough to work in the streets and orphanages of Honduras.  Honduras is the 2nd most impoverished country in the world and thus in many people's eyes they should be depressed and discouraged.  So why am I putting them on a happiness blog? Because they are the most joyful group of people I have ever met.  The children always had smiles stretching across their faces despite the skin stretched tightly against their ribs.  Wouldn't it be wonderful for us to learn that true joy is found within your heart and not in possessions or situation like these children?

I can't help but smile whenever I see this

Happy Father's Day
