Learning to Live Well By Miss Ruth F. Corro The Horizon‚ p.7 Happiness is not a destination but a day-by-day journey. I read this message on a daily devotional book I have been subscribing for years. I was touched by the story of a lady named Tamer Lee Owens who credited “laughter‚ the Lord‚ and the little things” for making it to her 104th birthday celebration.
