What is happiness? It is a feeling of contentment caused when your mental health is good and you acknowledge that you have acquired or achieved something that makes you happy, or you realise that there is no reason to be unhappy. It is a mental attitude and it can be a choice, however, for someone suffering depression, this is not something that happens quite as well. So, In quoting Aeschylus below, I acknowledge that for some of us, simply choosing to be happy, doesn’t quite work as well.
I would also like to share with you a song lyric/poem that I wrote a while ago. It’s called Happiness:
Happiness.
When will I find Happiness?
I try to keep hopeful, but I confess
I have almost given up
Dreaming, hoping of the day
When I will find
Someone to love me, who is kind.
Happiness, I admit it, I am in Distress
The time left to me is getting less
Do I still have the chance
Of attracting someone nice?
Am I too Old?
Will I be left out in the cold?
When I was young I played the fool
Thought settling down was just uncool
But now I know I wasted time.
Looking back, I’ve passed my prime.
Will I ever find what I am looking for?
Or will I continue living without…..
Happiness. When will I find Happiness?
I feel my life is such a shameful mess.
And yet, somehow, I know
There is always tomorrow,
and I will find,
The one for me is, in my mind
and I’ll find happiness.

The word of the day is Velvet, so I wanted to find an interesting expression including the word Velvet. I found two.
Firstly is an old expression that was used as a humorous name for a Mole.
You can quote me on that.
So, Who shall I nominate to take part in this challenge?
Well, here are three, if they wish to take part.

Rules: 3.2.1 Quote Me!
Thank the Selector
Post 2 quotes for the dedicated Topic of the Day.
Select 3 bloggers to take part in ‘3.2.1 Quote Me!’
Here’s a couple from me:
“Gratitude for the things you have puts you on the path to a positive attitude. “
“You can’t be positive every day, don’t beat yourself up about it, some days are just rubbish, but don’t wake up the next day expecting more of the same.”
Well Nova already posted about attitude and said that no one nominated her, well, I have now, Nova 🙂
Anyone else fancy having a go at this? Be my guest.

JP the Wide eyed Wanderer has tagged me for this challenge. See the Post here:
https://wideeyedwanderingspoonie.wordpress.com/2019/03/26/3-2-1-quote-me-challenge-truth/
I have actually, done one of these already today but I don’t want to disappoint JP who is a very supportive blogger. Also, there are a lot of great quotes about the Truth out there.
“The Truth is out there, but there’s no point in looking for it anywhere near any politician.” – Kristian Fogarty
“There’s a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.”
―
I won’t be tagging anyone this time, but if you are reading this and want to have a go, please be my guest.
So that Grand Master of the blogosphere (If you don’t believe me, go check out his blog. Would I Lie to you?), A Guy Called Bloke, has tagged me in one of his 321 Quote Challenges, this one about Truth.
Click below to see his post:
Thanks again Mr. Bloke. 🙂
Who’s real name was Eric Blair and not George Orwell, way to go at telling the truth, Eric! (Only kidding).
2. “Telling lies, that’s teachable, telling the truth is unimpeachable. People usually lie because they perceive the risk to be less than telling the truth.”
You can quote me on that. 🙂

The Topic: Creative Writing
Thanks for tagging me Rory.
I have made no secret that I attended a creative writing class in January and that is what ultimately gave me the confidence to start my blog.
What is creative writing? It is any writing that goes beyond the normal bounds of professional, academic, journalistic or technical writing. It includes poetry.
What did my creative writing class teach me?
What didn’t it teach me?
How to spell and use grammar.
Who wants to take part then?
How about?
