A Bird in the Hand
The Bluebird of Happiness
The story behind 'the bluebird of happiness' is related to the saying 'a bird in the hand'. The gist of it is you won't find true happiness by looking for it out there far and wide. It is found by cultivating an attitude of happiness from within.
You'll find true happiness by being mindful of, and appreciating, the simple everyday moments of life. In other words, you'll find true happiness by appreciating the blessings you have in hand, and by holding onto an attitude of contentment and gratitude for what you have.
Today may you appreciate your blessings in hand.
A bird in the hand is worth far more than two hidden in that elusive bush somewhere.
