Happiness by Janet Boston

Yesterday I came home from work and on my answering machine was a message that I had won a computer. What a surprise. I was so happy.
     I thanked God and Project Read for it. But then I became very sad because I did not know who I could tell about it.
     Some people would be happy for me and some would not. The reason that I feel what I am feeling is because I’m always happy for people when something good happens for them. I think that people are very jealous of me because I know how to move on in life and to take one day at a time.
     I need to learn that everybody is not going to like me. But I should learn to stop making it such a big problem.
     I must learn to be happy. We all have problems and we must learn to handle them. So in the future I will not let things take away my joy, peace and love that I have in me for others.
     Remember that everyone deserves to have happiness in their lives. Let no one take your happiness from you.
