The Ingredients Of Happiness

Most of you know that I love to cook. I almost cook every night and I look forward to doing so, for me it is not a chore or a must, it is an act of discovery and joy.

So, in thinking about happiness I began to look at it as I would in creating a wonderful dinner…what are the ingredients for my recipe to be happy?

Here’s my recipe:

Begin with:

QUANTITIES INGREDIENTS

Lots of Good Health

Tons of Faith

(pretty) Perfect Timing

Vast Sense of Humor

Great Discipline

Much Love

Then add:

QUANTITIES INGREDIENTS

Pinch of Kindness

Dash of Compassion

LOTS of Curiosity

Smidge of Don’t Mess with Me

Scat of Vanity

Wee bit of Sacrifice

Mix all the ingredients together and add a binder ingredient:

PATIENCE, this depends on the day…but you should always have it in your pantry. TRUST ME.

Then my friends, it’s like making meringues: you need LUCK.

Oh…and by the way, a little bit of dough can’t hurt.

Happy Cooking…
