HAPPINESS

HAPPINESS- is a mental or emotional state of well being characterized by positive or pleasant  emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy philosophers and religious thinkers often define happiness in terms of living a good life, or flourishing.

Happiness has different meanings to everone, to one it could be reading a good book. to another it could be good music. to me it means a number of things, it means having friends and family around that i care about, or its taking long drives at night and looking at the valley, having a great round of golf,   or walking in the mountains after a fresh rain storm. to me those are some of the things that mean happiness. it can also be a feeling that you feel, sometimes when the world seems to be down on you happiness can come sneaking through the door that you thought was closed.

"happiness often sneaks in through a door you didnt know you left open-john barrymore"

it can come in all shapes and forms, sometimes we may not know it or see it but we just have to look. for me, as of late, it has come in the form of a person, someone who brought happiness in my life when i didnt think there was any, something im extremely grateful for, she brought happiness in my life and has showed me a little bit more about what life is really about "life is about laughing and living, in good and bad times" and they probable have no idea what they have done for me, ive learned that it really is the small things that add happiness to life and give it more of a meaning. the last few weeks have made me feel more alive then i have felt in a while, they have made me feel nervous, and giddy, excited and above all happy.  to that all i can say is thank you.
