Some say Indians don’t have any humor. Maybe it’s because we think differently.
Old time Indians said: Walk a mile in their moccasins before you criticize someone; then you are a mile away and have their moccasins.
Today’s Indian says: Don’t complain because you have leaves in your swimming pool because you still have a swimming pool.
Reaching for the sky! 
It’s all about being grateful for what we have. It’s a hard concept to teach our youth. Something they have to experience, and hopefully with careful parenting they “Get it.”

The search for happiness, whether it be in the misguided pursuit of material goods, or in our relationships, is a common theme throughout human history and across cultures. Therefore, it is easy to find words of wisdom already spoken or written by those before us. Two of my favorites are: “It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.” (― Rev. Charles H. Spurgeon) and “Happiness is not having what we want, but wanting what we have.” (― Rabbi Hyman Schachtel)
