      Thanks John...
      There are times I feel like I'm lost in the wilderness, but I know happiness is waiting around the next bend.
      Nature is amazing...it can send happiness through your veins with a quiet echo.

   Brenda has written some fantastic poems responding to her prompt "Happy."Each of the poems defines and explains the reasons for being happy in a unique way. I especially loved the below verses.
   
   Each one holds a unique key
   that unlocks a hidden guarantee
   letting us bask with joy
   for each moment is ours to enjoy.
   
   As Brenda rightly mentions, everyone has a hidden key to unlocking happiness, and happiness is always personal and soul-searching in nature.
   
   Thanks John for sharing.

   There were some excellent poems and stories on the prompt - 'happy'. I enjoyed reading all of them, and I always enjoy reading your articles, Brenda.
   
   I just didn't come up with anything worth submitting this time, but I liked reading each person's work.
   
   I like Misbah's idea of putting happy things on the forum as life is tough for all of us sometimes.
   
   I appreciate your work in reviewing the responses to the prompts.
   
   Thanks for posting this article, John.

      No worries.
      
      Sometimes our muse has a mind of its own.  I think mine likes to go on vacation.
      
      I'm so glad Misbah posted on the forums about Wanting to see more happy writing instead of all the negative stuff we read.
      
      Happy is something we need to find each day.
      
      Have a great Sunday.

   Hello Brenda!
   Happy, happy poems, I enjoyed all of them with a smile on my face.
   I agree with you that happiness is subjective. People get happy for different reasons. Whatever that may be— Happiness is infectious and we should spread it as much as possible, with others.
   Thank you for sharing.
   Thank you John, for sharing Brenda’s wonderful poems.

      We should spread Happiness!
      
      Wouldn't it be great if Happiness could spread like wildfire...constantly infecting everyone.
      
      I'm so glad you smiled.
      
      Have a lovely day.

    These were all delightful to read, Brenda.  Happiness means different things to different people, but it is something that should be achieved and shared as often as possible.  Thanks to John and Ravi for sharing her work.
