29__.

“Happiness is like a butterfly which，when run after，is always __
37__our reach，but，if you will sit down___
38__，may fall upon you，” said Nathaniel Hawthorne，an American novelist.So，today，no matter what is going on in your own__
39__，stop and take a few moments to breathe deeply and just__
40__to be happy，whatever that means to you.
