When life gets fast and you get stressed,
Remember to take a moment to rest,
Take a deep breath, and a good look around, 
Mindfulness is often where peace can be found.

Ep. 444 - Sitting Wisdom

We begin as always 
with the Happy Creed.

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

My Happy Friends!

I sat on a bench in town one day 
And could see the shop across the way, 
The sign on the door said “Push” but it had a pull handle too,
So when people walked up to it they pulled because that’s what people do.

From where I sat, I could see the folly of their ways,
For I had a kind of Sitting Wisdom with a calm and steady gaze,
If I were the one in a rush, I might’ve pulled on the handle as well, 
But thanks to my sitting there, the difference I could easily tell.

So, when life gets a bit fast and you start to feel stressed,
There’s nothing quite like taking a brief moment to rest,
So, take a deep breath, and a good look around, 
For mindfulness is often where peace can be found.

And if that doesn’t work, then you can watch people run to and fro, 
And giggle to yourself for they know not where they go,
They pull when they should push, and cry when they could laugh,
The world is far more manageable when you slow it down by half.

Haha
