If you want to be happy, don't dwell in the past.

So many of us can't quite seem to get past our past.  We hold on to things much longer than we need to, and they weigh us down, not allowing the progress toward our future unencumbered.  When we are loaded with bricks on our shoulders, how can we be happy?   I created for you a great printable of 10 quotes, that are very good, and will make you think about holding on to the past.  Feel free to print them off for yourself, and share with others.  (Right click on the image, and save as a file on your computer, then print from your computer.)

I wrote a book, "If you want to be happy, give something away," is a great example of how a man had let his past load him down, but He makes a great turn around when he understands what he needs to do to be happy. The direct result was his level of happiness, as well as those in his village.  I encourage you to buy a copy and read it. You can find  my book at The Rosey Posey Printshop on Etsy.

If you want to be happy give something away

I would like to introduce you to my newest book, "If you want to be happy give something away." This book first came out in November of 2013, in time for me to do a few pre-sales for Christmas, however the actual launch will be sometime in July of 2014.  I will keep you updated as I receive information from my publisher.

I actually created this blog, to introduce some ideas that went with the message of this book and that is... If you want to be happy, then you need to do something about it.  In the case of the book, Old Gentleman Gray went out and did something about it, and began a ripple effect throughout his whole village of giving, thereby bringing back his own happiness and joy, which was something that he had lost for a whole year. 

This is a heart warming story, one that will remind families of the happiness that comes through giving, and not just at Christmastime, but the whole year through.
