It looks like a long way home... but it is only short...

Explaining why I said this...

I would take the kids somewhere and they will be saying "I'm tired". They would complain but I would say to them "It looks like a long way home...but... it is only short".

Meaning... Getting their minds occupied and doing things like singing, counting cars, or telling stories to them until we get home and then hearing them say, "We're home already? That was fast!"


Submitted by Mark W. Nettles, (Louisiana, USA)

When I see someone find great happiness, I celebrate their joy but do not yearn for it. Otherwise I may overlook the happiness that has already been given to me.


Submitted by Renee Gatz, (Woodbridge, NJ)

This is something my mother said to me often growing up. I don't know the origin of this expression. I just remember that it gave me the encouragement I needed to get where I wanted to go when I felt a challenge was insurmountable.

My parents had an expression for all of life's ups and downs. Growing up, I rolled my eyes at my parents when they said their various words of wisdom. As I grew up, I began to appreciate their ability to help me laugh, understand and survive. I grew to have so much appreciation for their expression I published a book titled, "Wise Words & Witty Expressions."

"It is by studying little things that we attain the great art of having as little misery, and as much happiness, as possible. ...Samuel Johnson

I like this happiness quote because it reminds me to be content and happy over what I currently have and to not be envious over what I don't have. As I look around, I can see I have so much to feel grateful for.
