There is more to life than being happy, but not much more. Happiness comes from deep inside and flows to the outside so everybody can see it and benefit from it.

it has for us.” Then I smile broadly, which usually throws her off her 
game. 

Being happy is one of the great benefits of life that not many people
have discovered. I know there are many times when happiness does not 
really fit the occasion, but I am concentrating on those times when it 
does fit. I love being happy. 

Not only that, but I love trying to make other people happy as well.
Wherever you go these days all you find are people under stress and 
discouraged without much motivation to go forward. I think everybody 
needs a dose of happiness every now and again. 

I am hoping that somehow I could be infected with the happy-itis virus
and infect as many people as I can. Of course, I know there is 
absolutely no cure for this disease and if I ever find anybody looking 
for a cure, I am going to go after them with everything I got. (That 
would make a great New Year's resolution!) 

Often when facing a serious problem, my wife will look at me and say,
“Wipe that smile off your face right now. Let's get serious for a 
change.” 

That has been my problem. It is very difficult, especially during the
month of January, for me to get serious about anything. Everything I 
see brings a smile to my face. Every person I meet causes me to giggle 
and when I giggle, it is hard to hide it from my face. 

James understood this when he wrote, “Behold, we count them happy which
endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of 
the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy” (James 
5:11). 

There is more to life than being happy, but not much more. Happiness
comes from deep inside and flows to the outside so everybody can see it 
and benefit from it.
