Most of us are torn more than one way. Our minds are full of to do things, shop, call, send cards and letters, make cookies, purchase gifts, to church, clean the house, deco- rate with Christmas trees and yes show a happy face. Today I am pulled back and forth trying to decide which task to begin. After shuffling into my home office to be sure I started this week's column. I stopped to pick up a book from the shelf and read just a little while before I hit the keys. Somehow I thought it was alright to just relax for a bit before I tackled the column. The first line I read was as follows: "Whoever is happy will make others happy too" by: Anne Frank. Needless to say my atten- tion was alerted. I felt as though I was being drawn into the world of happi- ness in spite of dragging my feet while my mind filled with many not so happy recent occurrences. I recall reading a bit about Anne Frank. Since my father was in the war during the time the Franks were hiding from those who were capturing and killing Jewish people, I felt sympathy even though I was a very young child. As I scan back to read of those not so wonderful times I realize that hav- ing a struggling economy is hard but not as hard as some families had it in the 1940's. Imagine Anne Frank and family were in hiding and yet she often played the clown, wore a smile in order to keep her from the more seri- ous side. Anne consistently wrote in a diary. Anne was aware of the stress of being behind walls. The people who were in the Secret Annex could never go out- side, and had to remain silent all day. They lived in constant fear of discovery. It's tough for everyone and the tension increasingly erupted into arguments. Anne wrote 'My mind boggles at the profanity this honorable house has had to endure in the past month'…To tell you the truth, I sometimes forget who we're at odds with and who we're not. The only way to take my mind off it is to study, and I've been doing a lot of that lately." Anne continued to smile in spite of the trials and tribulations she and her family faced during their long time hiding to protect themselves, there is no doubt that keeping a happy face is a hard task. While working at the computer it is as if I am meeting one negative after the other, the tele- phone was not working, the mail arrived with little encouragement, my office absorbed piles of less than wel- come papers, and the mirror above my computer table showed anything but a happy face. Is having a happy attitude so hard? Okay so it is if you let the dol- drums beat you down. Carolyn Barber On second thought I must hit the happy side of life. This past week I noted a new store on Walnut Street in Red Bluff. Husband and I entered the door of "3 Generations Arts and Shop and discovered a delightful display of artists paintings on the walls, comfy chairs located in the room with tables and chairs for painting or sipping coffee or tea. We were greeted by Jorgelina Roisnzvit the daughter of Susana Roisen- zvit. Jorgelina described the new shop convincing us that it was a great place for "hap- piness to exist in our town. I could feel a happy face beginning to express a fairly pleasant smile. The 3 Generations Arts and Shop hosted a Mini Fashion Show on Dec. 2 at 407 Walnut Street. Yes, my happiness is emerging and I do believe that I am encouraged to shop locally as much as possible. I do believe that we can keep on keeping on with smiles on our faces and memories of Anne Frank who hung in there with a smile on her face. Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992. It appears on Saturdays. She can be contacted by e-mail at hur- car@yahoo.com.
