What Makes People Happy

Being happy is not a result of accumulation. Being happy is an attitude. Life consist of ten percent circumstances and ninety percent how we handle those circumstances.
Pablo is always happy. He is fun to be around and his personality rubs off on those he works with. Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success.
Cell phones have changed the way we live and operate. We can make folks we care about happy when we call and let them know what we are up to and that we are thinking about them. We can make those same folks unhappy when the cell phone interrupts meals or quality time together. 
Occasionally things don't always go as planned. Breaking down in the field can test a person's patience. Solving the problem and getting things rolling again is always a good feeling.
Wives, nothing makes us guys happier than when you show interest in what we're doing. Hopefully we remember to return the favor. Having common goals as spouses can make for a happy marriage.
Working together as a family is also a huge blessing. Thankfully they make cabs bigger these days.
Kids enjoy being around and watching adults work. Below Joesph is repairing BJ and Cassia's stove chimney.
Getting visits and making new friends is always a good day. These gentlemen work at Heartland Ajinomoto in Eddyville. They came out to experience harvest and see where their corn comes from.
Working and playing together as a team is a rewarding experience. In the picture below both high school teams are kneeling and praying on the field while an injured player is being attended to.
Taking time off and spending it with friends over a holiday weekend at Doug and Ginger's house  is good. About 100 folks gathered together for camp church. Jason talked about community and looking out for and helping each other. The fellowship and caring of friends is a taste of heaven that we can experience here on earth. 
"Today is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be happy in it." Psalms 118:24
