Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd!

All these great blogs on happiness had me singing, literally!

This of course is another way to being happy: bringing more laughter and play into our lives. The song by Roger Miller, 'Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd' reminds us in it's uniquely funny way that there are certain things you just can't do,BUT 'you can be happy if you've a mind to... all ya gotta do is put your mind to it Knuckle down, buckle down, do it, do it, do it.' It's the bottom line to happiness really. Let go of all those other things and focus your mind on actively doing the things that make you happy. Sing a ridiculous song, play with your children or borrow some friends kids- they know how to play and get lost in feeling happy.

Lighten up, let go (for awhile at least!), be grateful and enjoy the present.

Here's something to try: Smile at EVERYONE you see today, go on, say 'Hi!', see what happens. You might just suprise yourself!

Smiling in Salisbury-
