"Happiness is not a Right - It is a Duty!" There is so much Un-Happiness in this world, we have a duty to be as Happy as possible, to help someone else along their way.
The very first Christmas after the loss of my father, I decided to buy every Adult a toy for Christmas. If they could feel like a child again - even for a few minutes forget their worries - I had completed my mission. There were many puzzled looks on their faces until they heard my reasoning. Then they smiled and enjoyed the toy for a few minutes. I got the most of the joy however. Because I bought a toy for everyone I loved, It made me count the number of people important to me. My life was and is rich indeed.
This reasoning is behind my Laugh A Lot Folk Art paintings. I hope to help everyone forget their cares for a few minutes.
