Belated Gridblog

Chels suggested we blog on "The Art of Happiness." Immediately I had visions of sunshine and rainbows grinning down on a square house with a triangle roof and a family making merry in the curvy grass below. The artist was 5 and used a broken crayon. But that's Happiness Art.

The Art of Happiness. It's not a Science. Most of us approach happiness as if it were paint by number - convinced a completed picture is the key. I think its more Picasso then that. He seemed to just paint allowing the brush to move his arm. The key with Picasso is not in what he completed but how he completed.

Life is a canvas. How we approach it determines everything.

Happiness is a paradox. The harder you pursue it, the more it eludes you. Happiness is a serendipitous byproduct of self being replaced with the image of Christ and realizing our God-given potential to serve.
