Happiness is a State of Mind

-o-

Happiness is a bagful of chocolates,

freely given and received with delight.

It is convincing a friend that running is worth a try.


Double happiness is spending one fine morning
with someone equally fine.


Happiness is searching the crowd for familiar faces,
and cheering friends gunning for longer distances or better times.


Happiness is allowing yourself to look stupid once in awhile.


Happiness is bonding with your pet.


It is having a kennel hand for your dogs,
so you can swim, bike and run.


Happiness is post-race breakfast with friends -
serious runners, new converts and those who have yet to run.

Hi Rico. Great photos and story. Hope everything's well with you. BTW, my wordpress blog is now deleted and am on blogger full time. Take care.

Thanks, Wayne. I updated my blog roll just now. Good luck on your half-marathon and I look forward to write-up on the takbo.ph yearbook.
