A L O H A !
Would you rather
be happy
or be right?
“ The need to be right
is the sign
of a vulgar mind. "
Camus
“ Dip your serenity
in serendipity
and let the surprise
be your prize ”

We can provide
those around us
with the option of joy
when we carry
our own
everywhere we go.
By not relying
on the actions of
the next person we meet
to decide our mental climate,
small things lose
their stickiness
to annoy -
we can let them
just flow by;
Away.
Keep your humble joy
and so inflame others
without notice
or fuss.

Thank YOU,
Friend!
Fondly, cloudia

I'd rather be happy. :)
I am HAPPY because I am always RIGHT... just ask my hubby who thinks he is always RIGHT.... some how our rights doe not always agree.. and i rather be RIGHT.. love your header, so much beauty.. and your Hawaii Fall colors are perfect. you are right, we are very similar here to you there.
good advice. :)
I'm so rarely right, I no longer worry about it…Such wise words, Cloudia. They remind me a little bit of this Yoga Sutra: "By cultivating attitudes of friendliness toward the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous and disregard toward the wicked, the mind-stuff retains its undisturbed calmness." In other words, we carry our own joy…
Thank you.
Hmmm. Most of the time I'd prefer to be happy but, unfortunately, there are times when I really want to be right. :))
Love your pics! Wish I was in Hawaii. Such a beautiful place.
Love today's message! Thanks for reminding me.
An excellent message today! It's always time to chill!
Being right is important only if you're burdened with keeping score.
Tks for your nice comments on my blog. I found you via Hilary.
Thank you, Cloudia!
can't we be both?
Most of the time I'm wrong but who cares, I'm happy if I'm right but thats rare.

People who always have to be right isolate themselves, because nobody around them wants to volunteer to always be wrong!
I like to be happy and right....(ihihih)
Bye bye dear Cloudia!
I'd rather be happy !
Love the idea of losing stickiness...must try that.

So we can't be both?

This is a real party today! I am loving what each of you has brought today. Lots to enjoy and to think about! Thanks, Friends
Time not being happy is time poorly spent.
I would rather be happy :)
Yes, I'm happy.
Glad 🚀
I'd rather be happy! Right or wrong, you can never undo a thing, probably make repairs.
Thought provoking and also fun! :)
