When Contagious is Good

Happiness 

is contagious - catch it!

Do you believe it? 
Do YOU believe that you can make your own happy? 

There are lyrics below from a group I discovered called MaMuse.  I love their inspirational sound and listen to it often.  This morning I take particular comfort in the words of this Chico Gospel.  Once upon a time "I believed life was over for me".  Truly.  There have been many times in my life that I never thought I'd live to see another day.  It's incredible how if you pray... believe...  and choose to change your life around, it just might happen.  Sure we all go through some rough patches, and yes, the cliche of what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, yadda yadda...  but isn't it true? 

And if we believe that happiness can be ours, by taking another breath, another step...  and by making a daily habit to put a smile on our face and a song in our heart, it can be contagious. 

Chico Gospel

There was a time I believed
Life was over for me
There was time I believed
My life was over
I feel strong today
Thanks to your help
I'll find my way and
I too will lend you a hand
When you need one

Chorus:
Sometimes I get so down
I feel like
This the end
Like there's no way in hell
I can get over this mountain
The sun has come out
Beyond the shadow of my doubt
I am walking on this earth
Stronger than ever

There was a time I believed
There'd be no love for me
There was time I believed
I'd get no lovin'
I feel love today
Thanks to your help
I'll find my way and
I too will lend you a hand
When you need one

(Chorus)

There was a time I believed
There'd be no money for me
There was a time I believed
There'd be no money
I feel rich today
Thanks to your help
I'll find my way and
I too will lend you a hand
When you need one

(Chorus)

There was a time I believed
There'd be no peace for me
There was a time I believed
There'd be no peace
I feel peace today
Thanks to your help
I'll find my way and
I too will lend you a hand
When you need one

(Chorus)
I am walkin' on this earth stronger than ever
I am walkin' on this earth stronger than ever

So...  who caught my HAPPY?  and/or who made his own?  Henry!  It's such a heart-warming experience to see your child blossom before you...  to see him feel strong in his faith and who he is becoming...  

His first two nights of homework as evidence.

If you could meet 3 people who have died, who would it be... 
His number one answer...   

...JESUS...

this, in a public school, he's not afraid to say.

 

And in another class he was asked to write/color and index card.

One word that described Henry:

.happy.

life is good.
