Stay Happy!
Lionel

From our history page: January 18, 2001 This meeting was very special to
the Happiness Club. It was our first anniversary as the Happiness Club. It
was also the first time we held a meeting at the Fairfield Public Library.
Even though Old Man Winter was upon us, 22 people attended. The meeting
topic, "Lighten Up...Be Happy!" was presented by Lionel Ketchian, with lots
of energy to start the new year off right. Tom Finelli's presentation
involved the audience using dumb bells to take a load off and light up.
Everyone focused on one thing that made them unhappy, and placed its energy
into the dumb bell, made out of balloons and coin rolls, and tossed it away.

A couple of e-mails from those who attended our last meeting.

"Thank you for the list of books........Margherite and I enjoyed the dialogue at the meeting.......we are laughing and shouting YES! We are both happy. So I hit a big block of broken-off curb in the street and blew out a new tire beyond repair. So, I'm happy? So what else is new?????" - Joseph and Margherite

"Lionel, it's is ALWAYS so wonderful to see you - you shine! I really enjoyed
the meeting last evening. Listening to everyone share seem so valuable. The
"dumbbells" lasted in my car overnight. I took them this morning for my
weight workout. What a creative way to "let go." I will now always view
weightlifting differently - and be smiling from the sharing and
participation." - Mary

"Happiness and virtue rest upon each other; the best are not only the
happiest, but the happiest are usually the best." – Bulwer
Take command of the one thing in the world you can control - YOU!
"My creed is that: Happiness is the only good. The place to be happy is
here. The time to be happy is now. The way to be happy is to make others so."
- Robert G. Ingersoll

Do something for yourself today. Give yourself the gift of Being in Control,
Being PEACEFUL, and POWERFUL. Improve your health, energy, and attitude.
Learn simple methods that will allow you to control your response to
difficult situations. The strategies work for business frustrations, and
family challenges.

"Try to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you
may have made three thousand, six hundred and fifty persons happy, or
brightened a small town by your contribution to the fund of general
enjoyment." - Sydney Smith
Get On the Right Track for the New Year!
