time little things that make living a joy are not always appreciated we are told that happiness comes by pieces and that it is these small bits linked together that make our urea worth while some of us are not con tent to take our happiness by degrees or nt intervals we want it all the time in big pieces and if we cannot have it that way we think that we are deprived of our natural rights and look upon ourselves as injured befogs it is a rather singular expression of human nature how happiness affects the individual with some of as it makes us friendlier toward others and anxious that tbey should experience like joys with others it makes us too satisfied with ourselves to think very much of our neighbors perhaps those of us who know what the joy of living means have experi enced both of these attitudes at dif ferent periods of our lives and are in position therefore to appreciate a varying viewpoint but even so it la only after wo lose something of that joy of living and have found out for ourselves that there are shadows which no amount of sunlight can disperse that wo can readily appreciate the blessing of whatever happiness may and its way into our lives the little things that count so much in our intercourse with each other are not always regarded as highly an they should be and for this reason we pass by much that would give us joy if wo only knew how and where to
