Happiness is a reality and a fairy tale. The only way that the princesses in the stories can have happiness is if the author decides to. In reality, happiness is attainable. It's just not achieved through easy ways. We can't depend on our Writer in Heaven to write us OUR ideal, happy, fairy tale. It's His story but we have a choice in how it goes. Just like everything in life is a choice. We choose what makes us happy. Food, clothes, entertainment, and relationships are just a few examples of choices we make in regards to our happiness.

What about the times when we aren't happy? Like the days when we have woken up on the "wrong side of the bed." How did that phrase start? Did some husband get too greedy with the mattress and upset his very grumpy wife when he rolled upon her in the early morning? Grumpiness is such an easy and yet stupid way to behave. What makes it so appealing to the person who's being grumpy? Do they honestly LIKE being grumpy? Even though being happy is better! Sometimes we get lazy and don't make the choices we should.
Just remember, people are going to have their bad days. Their "woke up on the wrong side of the bed" days! Help people make the CHOICE to be happy! Be patient with them. They could be in that mood because of certain factors that have affected their thought processes. "Patience is a virtue and a virtue don't hurt you!" :)
