All are welcome to join.
All you have to do is be happy and positive.
You must honestly want to spread your happiness infectiously throughout the world.
You must try to wear a smile most of the time.
You must listen compassionately and give good hugs.
I does not matter if you are not currently feeling happy, but you must promise to summon the feeling from within yourself.
Come on guys, let's change the world!

You called? Where is JD? I'm ready to get this party started!!!!
Well, I don't think being happy all the time is a good goal, as it's not possible. I think that being happy the majority of the time is a much better goal. Feel the sad times, and embellish the good times. Never become indifferent. That's the best course of life.
Somehow I'm reminded of that song:
Pain!
Without love.
Pain!
Can't get enough!
Pain!
I like it rough, cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all.
;-)
Where do I sign up?
Sounds like a great crowd to me!

I'm pretty much happy until reality sets in. (sigh) I hate to be that way, but sometimes that's just how it is. Maybe this is why I like "House."
JD: we all experience sadness and pain. It's part of the human experience.
But we can choose not to wear these emotions on our sleeve or be defined by them.
We can choose to put a positive twist on a bad experience.
Much great poetry and prose has been born from angst, but there is a time to set that aside and enjoy life.

Agreed.
Can I join the "optimistic" wing of the club?
I'm not always happy. My life is a rollercoaster. I know I have to ride through the lows to get to the highs. But most of the time I believe better times are ahead. I prepare for better times ahead.
When feeling down, I'll try to do something for others. Whether or not they express gratitude, I'll feel better.
When happy, I'll smile and make you laugh!
Wow! That was easy!
You just threw me on my happy butt!
