A quotation from Josh Billings

Cheerfullness makes the plainest features butiful, the severest winter agreeable; it elevates the lowly, and adds a charm tew grateness, all its own.
 
[Cheerfulness makes the plainest features beautiful, the severest winter agreeable; it elevates the lowly, and adds a charm to greatness.]

Josh Billings (1818-1885) American humorist, aphorist [pseud. of Henry Wheeler Shaw]
Everybody’s Friend, Or; Josh Billing’s Encyclopedia and Proverbial Philosophy of Wit and Humor, ch. 281 “Variety: Bred and Butter” (1874)

A quotation from Joseph Addison

I have always preferred cheerfulness to mirth. The latter I consider as an act, the former as an habit of mind. Mirth is short and transient, cheerfulness fixed and permanent. Those are often raised into the greatest transports of mirth who are subject to the greatest depressions of melancholy. On the contrary, cheerfulness, though it does not give the mind such an exquisite gladness, prevents us from falling into any depths of sorrow. Mirth is like a flash of lightning, that breaks through a gloom of clouds, and glitters for a moment; cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1712-05-17), The Spectator, No. 381

Can anyone recommend good #OpenSource, #CloudNative #messaging brokers with a more product-oriented approach? I was thinking Nextgen #Mirth Connect, but with a modern UI and a good developer experience. I am basically looking for persistent queues that are easy to monitor with a dashboard, HTTP interfaces and support for filter and transformation logic.

#fhir and #hl7v2 support are a nice-to-have.

Now #Winter #Lights its #Cheerful #Fire,
While jests with #Frolic #Mirth resound

And #Draws the #Wandering #Beauty nigher,
'Tis now too #Cold to #Rove around;

The #Christmas #Game, the playful #Dance,
Incline her #Heart to #Glee -

#Mutual we #Glow, and #Kindling #Love
#Draws every #Wish to me.

- Ann Batten Cristall, English #Poet & #Teacher
