Imperfectly Happy - Ep. 475

You can be a good person without saying Yes to every request,Spreading yourself too thin keeps you from doing your best,And sometimes goofing off can help you recharge and reset,Even telling people No when needed can be the safest bet.

Ep. 475 - Imperfectly Happy

We begin as alwayswith the Happy Creed.

We Believe in Happy,in Balance and Growth,of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding.

YowzaHahaMy Happy Friends!

I have never, nor will I ever claim to be a saint,And anyone who thinks I am one—well, I assure you, I ain’t.Sainthood takes sacrifice, making it too tough a gig, of course,Only doing those things that register as being a positive force.

For the rest of us we just do our best and sometimes a little less, Aiming for perfection is a great way to make an utter mess,But that doesn’t mean you’re necessarily broken, crazy or bad, Like everybody else we’re just trying to keep from going mad.

You can be a good person without saying Yes to every request,Spreading yourself too thin keeps you from doing your best,And sometimes goofing off can help you recharge and reset,Even telling people No when needed can be the safest bet.

You can have bouts of bitter, grouchy, cranky spite, Be all out of smiles for a while, ready to pick a fight,And it doesn’t suddenly make you unworthy or wrong,Just don’t start thinking it weakens what makes you strong.

HahaYowza
