"Then he said to them, 'Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our LORD. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.'" (Neh 8:10)

Ten Rules for Happier Living:

1. Give something away (no strings attached).

2. Do a kindness (and forget it).

3. Spend time with the aged (the experience is priceless).

4. Look intently into the face of a baby (and marvel).

5. Laugh often (it's life's lubricant).

6. Give thanks (a thousand times a day is not enough).

7. Pray (or you will lose the way).

8. Work (with vim and vigor).

9. Plan as though you will live forever (you will, in either heaven or hell).

10. Live as though you will die tomorrow (because you will die on some tomorrow).
