Happiness is lavender oil for anxiety

Have never tried it internally, but externally it's great!

Doctors should dish out LAVENDER OIL as a first-line treatment for people with anxiety instead of addictive drugs, psychiatrist claims:

Professor Hans Peter-Volz said doctors are too quick to dish out benzodiazepines and other drugs to patients with anxiety. ...

Professor Volz claimed lavender oil capsules have been shown to be as strong as commonly used anti-anxiety medications. ...

Professor Volz is the medical director of the Hospital for Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatic Medicine in Schloss, Germany.

Happiness is odds made even

The fox, the ape, and the bumble bee,

Were still at odds, being but three;

Until the goose came out of door,

And staid the odds by adding four.

-- William Shakespeare, Loves Labours Lost, Act III, Scene 1

Happiness is an Omaha Steaks Filet Mignon Burger on the grill

About $5 a pop for 5.3 oz. of delicious, tender beef with a whopping 16g of saturated fat per burger, a full day's allocation of dangerous, heart-clogging lard if you have coronary artery disease, or want to get it.

Still, a nice gift for that occasional transgression of the rules.

I washed it down with a head of broccoli!

Hail bounteous May . . .

 

Hail! bounteous May, that dost inspire

Mirth and youth, and warm desire;

Woods and groves are of thy dressing,

Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing.

-- John Milton (1608-1674)

It's May Day! Time for "Springtime for Hitler and Germany"!

Happiness is a good deed

How far that little candle throws his beams!

So shines a good deed in a naughty world.

-- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act 5 Scene 1

Happiness is John Gay's chosen epitaph

 

 

 Life is a jest, and all things show it,

I thought so once, and now I know it.

-- John Gay (1685 – 1732)

Happiness is biddy biddy bum, all day long

If I Were A Rich Man

  

If I were a Rothschild

If I Were Rothschild • Sholem Aleichem

Happiness is a sweet song

 

 

 Thy songs are sweeter to mine ear,

Than to the thirsty cattle rivers clear,

Or winter porridge to the lab'ring youth,

Or bunns and sugar to the damsel's tooth.

-- John Gay (1685-1732)

Happiness is the birds of spring

 

The painted birds, companions of the Spring,

Hopping from spray to spray were heard.

-- John Dryden

Happiness is a glorious spring day in Grand Rapids, MI

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I didn't do a dang thing I was supposed to do. Instead I raked the leaves away from the fence line and from under the deck, and started a fire to burn them with in ye olde fire pit, using the old twigs and branches from last fall and winter. The birds got fresh water in the bird bath. The wind was gentle, the sun bright and the temperature was just oh so right. It was a glorious three hours. And now I'm tired. Good and tired. And a little bit sun-fried.  

Happiness is episode one of McHale's Navy, the sitcom, from October 1962

In which we learn that before the war, McHale [Ernest Borgnine] was the captain of a camp steamer in the South Pacific and is in possession of a deep familiarity with "Taratupa" and all its fictional surrounding environs, which won him a commission as a commander of PT-73 once war had broken out with Japan.

Happiness is vegan grifter world on youtube going boom after famous vlogger caught eating fish

 

Turns out based on this story that the hypocrisy is everywhere.

 The Weird World of Vegan YouTube Stars Is Imploding:

 Last Sunday, a five-second video clip of vegan YouTuber Yovana Mendoza single-handedly brought down the luminous 28-year-old’s entire career. In it, you can see the raw food advocate, who goes by the name “Rawvana,” smiling at a restaurant in Bali as she prepares to tuck into her meal. But in an instant, the health guru’s face changes, as she realizes her friend’s camera is trained on her plate. She moves to cover it, but it’s too late. Internet sleuths watching the 10-minute vlog later would quickly deduce what Mendoza was trying to hide: a piece of fish.

Happiness is the "US Field Artillery March"

John Philip Sousa unknowingly stole the song, it turns out, from Edmund L. Gruber.

My dad was with the US Army field artillery from 1943-1945, serving in France and Belgium, and trained at the Field Artillery School at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. As a child I was fascinated by all things artillery and things that go "boom".

To this day I wake up singing this march to myself, silently in my head, as I make the morning coffee:

For it's high high he,

In the Field Artillery,

Shout out your numbers loud and strong!

Happiness is the new reason to say "Take this job and shove it"
