The Enchanted Self           — by Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein

EASY RECIPE FOR HAPPINESS

A friend of mine was mentioning that when her mother-in-law visited many years ago, she took the little girls out in the carriage for a walk.  Being a friendly person, she naturally talked to strangers. 

On this day, she began to talk to a neighbor who looked a little tense.  It turned out that the neighbor had agreed to be a scout leader but didn't have a uniform for herself and was concerned that she wouldn't be able to find or purchase one before her first meeting.  My friend's mom, said, "I've got one and I'm not a leader anymore.  I'll send it to you!" 

The neighbor was surprised and delighted—and even more so when the uniform arrived in the mail!

It is so easy to have a Recipe for Happiness when one is generous of spirit!
