Dancin' and happy
Be happy, don't worry. Just keep on dancing. Remember the words of one of the greatest rockers of all time:
" When i was 5 years old, my mother told me happiness was the key to life. when i went to school they asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up. i wrote down "happy ". they told me i didn' t understand the assignment. i told them they didn' t understand life " - *John Lennon*
A man asked Lord Buddha "I want happiness" Lord Buddha said first remove "I"---that's ego. Then remove "want"--that's desire. See, now, you are only left with "happiness"
