On/Topic-Iodine Lips

We all are in the pursuit of happiness.
It's okay to be sad too. It is our reference to happiness.
Look within yourself and you will see that happiness was
there all along waiting for you to embrace it.
A small number of children born with downs are known as mosaic downs.
I have posted a link for it to anyone, who would like to see.
My youngest child Jessica was born with trisomy 21.
She has the extra chromosome.
She is a full blown downs.
She just has more chromosomes for me to love!

Thanks to all the wonderful people on this board.
A special thanks to HH!!!

Kiss your Iodine and be happy...
BTW I actually painted iodine, on my lips and it absorbed superfast!

Happiness is a Journey, Not a Destination
Current mood: optimistic


We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with.

We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.

The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?

Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.

Alfred D. Souza said, "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life.

But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, and a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

This perspective showed that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time...and remember that time waits for no one...

So, stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you are off welfare, until the first or fifteenth, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink, until you've sobered up, until you die, until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy...

-- Father Alfred D'Souza

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
Dance as though no one is watching you.
Love as though you have never been hurt before.
Sing as though no one can hear you.
Live as though heaven is on earth.
