Happiness Is?


Happiness is?

To you what is happiness? Marriage? Relationships? Being single? Kids? Pets? Farm? Home? Him? Her? Friends?

To each of us happiness could be a multitude of things. For me for example, my pets generate a joy that which will not be found in any other thing. I have seven (7) chickens, three (3) ducks, one (1) pic, one (1) dog, and four (4) rabbits. These are my pets who I love to pet (see what I did there?), feed, watch play and eat. Also I am in love. I love him, however, he doesn't want me or love me. But ultimately the feeling of being in love is of the utmost value to me ... personally. This may not be for you.

Also, I have no kids. I have no siblings living near me. I have few friends, real friends. I work hard. I enjoy what I do and I started a new gig - something I've never done before. This also makes me very happy. Yes I am up at (1) in the morning sometimes, but I am still in a a state of joy.

To you what is happiness? What makes you wake up in the morning? Keeps you going throughout your day? Thinking of her? Thinking of him? The thought of jumping in your car and driving to Bagdad? Or to Quartzite? Knowing that there is a small town named Hope?

Joy comes mostly from within. But WE need something within that will bring it out, right? Again, I am always happy, joyful. I've had bad moments the last twenty five (25) years, but not bad days, or weeks, or months, not counting colds or the flu. Why have I been so happy? Easy. I focus on what I am able to accomplish each day. I look at how far I've come, and how grateful I am for what I have, not what other's have. I instill joy in other by making them laugh, smile, even smirk at my silliness.

The smell of fresh coffee in the morning makes me happy. The smell of hot tea at night makes me happy. Yes, the little things. *:-)

To you, what is happiness? Talk about it. Find it, follow through.
