More Sunshine, More Daytime, More Happiness with Daylight Savings

It affects many, the winter doldrums.  But when the days start becoming a little longer and daylight savings approaches, we all look forward to driving home in the light once again.  People are in better moods and not to be funny...but has anyone ever noticed that on that first work day after daylight savings people tend to drive a little crazier?  Perhaps the sudden shock of driving home in the light has an altering effect on our ability to accelerate?

Regardless of roadway outcomes, daylight savings also tends to make people a bit more inspired, light-hearted, jovial, and downright happy.  It's the penultimate week before spring will have sprung!  Green grasses, floral colors abound, and open windows billowing the curtains and breathing life into our static homes.  So in honor of this weekend's bringing us into the light celebration, I hope the following will not only inspire emotion but provoke and cause stirrings of joy for the sunshine and warmth that is to come.

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." ~Maya Angelou, Author

"You lose your sense of time, you're completely enraptured, and you're sort of swayed by the possibilities you see in this work.  The idea is to be so saturated with it that there's no future or past, it's just an extended present in which you're making meaning." ~Mark Strand, Poet

"The chiefest point of happiness is that a man should be willing to be what his is." ~Erasmus

"It is neither weatlh, nor splendor, but tranquility and occupation, which gives happiness." ~Thomas Jefferson

"It it not how much we have but how much we enjoy that makes happiness." ~Charles H. Spurgeon

"The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one has to do." ~James M. Barrie
