The theme remains service with a smile, and the genre remains Country. The word "luck" comes from the Middle Dutch word gheluc, which means "happiness or good fortune". The word gheluc was shortened to luc, which is the root of the English word "luck". The word "luck" likely entered the English language in the 15th century as a gambling term. With our ongoing Thursday discussion that good is a subjective term, fortune, which is the base of fortunate, is a factor of magnitude; could be horses, could be gold, could be a wonderful relationship. So happiness is the key factor in living a good life. Smiles co-exist with happiness very easily.

The word happy comes from the Middle English word hap, which means "luck" or "chance". The suffix -y means "characterized by". The earliest known use of the word happy was in the Middle English period (1150—1500).
The word hap comes from the Old Norse word happ. The word hap has also influenced other English words, including:
Perhaps: Literally means "through fate"
Haphazard: Means "dangerous chance"
Hapless: Means "lacking luck"
Happen: The active form of hap
The word happy originally referred to good luck, rather than a feeling of joy. In Indo-European languages, the word for happiness is related to the word for luck. For example, the Old French word heur means "fortune" or "luck" and eventually became bonheur. The German word Glück means both "happiness" and "chance".
Happiness is a warm gun, especially if it's a glock. I still remember hearing of John Lennon's murder, the exact sidewalk, the weather (sunny), and the weight of the moment. If he had meant this literally, it would be highly ironic, that from his pen, would come a bullet to the head. His song was satirical, and not a call to arms.
The yin and yang of thing's, makes us realize that just as up cannot exist without down, in without out, happiness without sadness. No one is happy 100% of the time, nor 99 or 98% of the time. Only the iodata, the idiot savant, can live and laugh, and laugh and laugh. I have had a few experiences where all was hilarious in my thoughts and life experiences, laughing for nearly an hour, barely able to get enough oxygen to remain standing. I think, in general, our happiness, sadness quotient is somewhere around 52/48, and the happy persona is often nothing more than putting on a happy face, and service with a smile becomes real.
