Everyone seek the key to happiness outwardly
but only the wise know it lies within.!
************************************

In keeping with our mission of being our best the focus of this month's Leather Spinsters on The Web Ezine is "Being A Healthy Selfish". Now I know many of you have the belief that there's nothing healthy about being selfish. Immediately visions of people hoarding probably came to mind.

Well this month we'll be changing the image of hoarding and being one's worst to a person being able to give their best and the world can receive the best the person have to offer. All too often women give everything they have to the people they love thinking this is what they're suppose to do to show love.

So do make a point to stop by this month's ezine edition after reading the newsletter for more info on reclaiming yourself.

What do you think about happiness? A philosophical approach to life; an intellectual activity or an academical pursuit. No, not at all, nothing of the sort.

Happy living is nothing more than living a normal life free from undue pressures, problems and tensions. The Art of Happy Living is not a complicated kind of art difficult to learn rather a simple art of living well, eating well, thinking well and feeling well. Just tune up your mind to enjoy every moment of life and let the happiness follow you.

Happiness is purely an internal matter. It has nothing to do with your external circumstances. Most people do the fatal mistake of looking outwards for happiness rather than looking inwards. Only fools worry about the circumstances on which they have no control. Why worry if you cannot change the weather, rather enjoy it whether its hot, humid, cold, cloudy, foggy or snowy. Keep your internal weather pleasant all the time. Don?t allow external matters to take your smiles away.

The feeling of happiness is within you. There is something positive within you which keeps you happy and there is something negative within you which keeps you unhappy. That ?something? needs to be looked into thoroughly. If you want to live a happy life then get rid of the negative ?something? which makes you unhappy. Negative approach always complicates the problems and increases unhappiness.

Happy living is the reward of positive thinking. Remember, only the positive thinking can bring happiness in your life. If you cannot think positively, you cannot live happily. Be your own coach and adviser. Look everything with a positive angle. Find something good even in most critical moments of your life. Make positive thinking the basis of your happy living.

Happiness is all around. Its not far away from you. If you do not want to live happy, its upto you. Its your own choice. Don?t blame others. Don?t blame your fate or external circumstances.

Regena as I read the article on the riot I thought "go for it" for those who rioted. It seemed for the first time someone actually did something to point out the craziness we single people face in this married folks world. I know the riot was immature and stupid but I secretly wished someone did the same in my town.Daley

Oh my goodness how low can single people go Rioting over Valentines Day.Justine

I am so glad you came forth with the news it was all a hoax. If not people would actually be attempting to riot over Valentine's Day. Most reasonable adult would admit that rioting at a card store is just plain silly. If single women want to be seen in a more positive light they must conduct themselves accordingly, rioting would be the feather to prove the suspected discontent single women are to feel.Lee

Regina,
If people would just read this publication each month they would realize the big picture, we create our lives not society. If they do not feel acceptance then they must do as you said, look inside of themselves.no name

I love how you phrased "we as single persons must change how we view this world for our own sake." If I had read that passage 8 years ago I would have deleted the entire message. I was believing back then I had no power to change or even affect the world. I changed because I know I can affect my world by changing my thinking. Thank you very much for the message. Valencia

AMEN, Regena!!!!!!Connie

Since when have rioting ever brought forth good returns? Never regardless to what the reasoning were at the time of the riot. Thank you for setting the record straight. Judith

Regena I have a theory as to why peple may have found the riot on Valentine's day a good idea. No one wants to believe it is they who determine how the world sees them. Not the other way around. After all dont people need others to blame when it appears life has given them lemons?Lisa

Hi there,
I'm wondering if there are any leatherspinsters in New Zealand who would be prepared to be interviewed by myself for an article on the lifestyle and aspirations of dedicated spinsters. If you could post this on the site, I'd be very grateful. They should get in touch with me - Lyn Loates tinlid@clear.net.nz
