Happiness is a craving we all have. But we can't sit and wait for it to come our way, just as the ingredients for a recipe won't magically appear. We have to make a conscious effort to go out and "catch happiness."

Many times throughout our day we are faced with something we want and we fulfill that want. We are thirsty—we go get something to drink. We are hungry—we go get something to eat. We want to write something down—we go get a pen. Happiness need not be any more complicated—if we want happiness, we must either go get it or create it where we are. Doses of inspiration and humor that gently and joyfully help us live more peaceful, loving, and fulfilling lives.

What a wonderful book and it makes a great addition to my library. Thank you so much for putting all of these positive and helpful thoughts and affirmations together in one place. I strongly recommend this book. ( )

Give Yourself or Someone Special the Gift of Postive Thought.

The title of this book really caught my interest. Who doesn't want to live a joyful life? And if you do why not do it with gusto. I think everyone can relate to that. With the author being a motivational speaker I was curious to see what she had to tell me. One concept I really like about this book is how it is divided into sections, like Arts, Creativity, Family, Nature, Pets, Friendship, Laughter, Beauty, Faith and a few more. Each section provides a collection of insight to motivate and uplift the reader daily, if read as such. I feel this book does just that and it actually has inspired me in sharing, which I do by placing the quotes in emails to others. Although I read through this book in a few sittings. I feel this book is actually meant to read slowly day by day and more so on those days when one feels they need a pick-me-up.

So does this book make my life more joyful? I believe for one to lead a joyful life one must work at it. Just like one must work on friendship, love and relationships. For this to happen one has to have the right tools to teach us and help us daily into implementing positives into our lives, and this book is a good start. I recommend this book to anyone looking for inspirational and motivational quotes and advice. It also makes a great gift for that special someone. ( )
