Jeff in Idaho, Moscow, Idaho, lost two children in recent years.
Faith keeps him feeling lucky and blessed.
I am so aware of the suffering that is ubiquitous.
How could I not feel how lucky I am?
But I am not alone in this regard.
There are so many people in this circumstance.
So keep that chart for this next week.
Just every time you feel lucky, just put a, you know, a line under that side.
And every time you feel unlucky, put a line on that side.
David, Colorado Springs, hi.
Hello?
Yes, hi.
Hi, Shabbat Shalom.
This is really Shabbat Shalom Day.
Shabbat for me, too.
Amazing.
I want to say I've been a very optimistic person and a happy person all my life.
And it was through the happiness hour that it really solidified, and I recognized how I could even be more happy and have that choice.
And it also helped besides just being happy, but it also makes the choice of how I respond to things that have happened to me, like stage 4 colon cancer.
And it was through the idea that we don't determine what happens to us.
It just happens.
But we do have a choice on how we respond to it.
Exactly what I was just saying.
Well, that's why I broadcast the Happiness Hour.
And I know it has an impact.
There's no reason it shouldn't have an impact.
It certainly isn't political.
So I wonder what people do.
We're affected by the happy.
I do.
I think about this on occasion.
People who can't stand my views on life other than the happiness error, let's say the male-female error.
So what do you think happens with me?
So am I sort of like bifurcated?
Think really clearly on happiness and really unclearly on life or politics?
