[F]I love Dr. Jon and my daily Dog Crazy Newsletter. This was today's issue.

Dogs are happy because they believe that...

1. Everyone has the potential to be a good person (or dog)
2. You are never too old to make new friends
3. It doesn't matter what you did in the past It matters only what you do now
4. Regrets don't do any good just live for today
5. That one should try to be happy every day
6. You are never too old to play
7. Food is a very good thing
8. Treats are a really, really good thing
9. Massages are the best relaxation
10. Money doesn't buy you love
11. One good toy is better than 10 bad toys
12. You don't need money to be happy

I think we can all learn something from this list. We would be happier if we really lived by some of these " dog secrets".

And, he goes on to say..."a friend of mine recently sent me a similar list for people. What are the things that if we really believed would make us happier people."

I believe...
That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I believe...
That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I believe...
That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I believe...
That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I believe...
That it is taking me a long, long, LONG time to become the person I want to be.

I believe...
That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I believe...
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I believe...
That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
