The foundation for happiness is a proper relationship with the Lord. But to fully experience that happiness, we must build on that foundation in practical ways. I found this list of Ten Rules for Happier Living:

1. Give something away.
   
2. Do a kindness.
   
3. Give thanks always.
   
4. Work with vim and vigor.
   
5. Visit the elderly and learn from their experience.
   
6. Look intently into the face of a baby and marvel.
   
7. Laugh often—it’s life’s lubricant.
   
8. Pray to know God’s way.
   
9. Plan as though you will live forever—you will.
   
10. Live as though today is your last day on earth.

—Richard De Haan

I found this in my morning devotion. I thought the list was nice to think about. I hear some project brothers in depression and I just pray that they will win over this fight. Not that this is the message to them, don't get me wrong, but I do hope they get happy.

A few years ago, I remember praying constantly and giving thanks in every circumstances, that brought me joy. Let's pray and help those in need. I need to be more of a do-er than think-er. ^^
