Happiness Podcast Excerpt: THERE is a beautiful and an ugly way in which to say almost everything, and happiness depends upon which way we take. You can upset a person for the whole day by the harsh way in which you address them in the morning, or you may give them a beautiful start by the cheeriness of your greeting. So not only in words, but in all the little, common courtesies and duties of life, think of the beautiful way of doing them. — Delia L. Porter
