Her first visit was to a wealthy man. "Why are you happy?" the reporter
                  asked. "Why, I've got all this," he said showing her his vast pristine estate.

                  Her second visit was to a middle-aged couple living in the suburbs. "Why
                  are you happy?" she asked the couple. "Because we have all this," both
                  responded, explaining that they felt lucky to have each other, and were
                  blessed with a daughter to care for.

                  Her last visit was to a financially poor woman in a run-down deteriorating
                  neighborhood. "Why are you happy?" the reporter asked. The woman
                  smiled and said, "because I have many things to be thankful for. I am alive,
                  I have a roof over my head, and I am blessed by being able to bring up
                  four children and watch them grow up."
                  She pointed to a small dirt park across the street with children playing and
                  laughing and added, "and I have all this to enjoy."

                                                 Happiness is everywhere.
                                Sometimes you just have to look around to see it.
