What is happiness? Can you define happiness? Are you happy? Is there a time you have been very happy?
The dictionary defines happy as:
: feeling pleasure and enjoyment because of your life, situation, etc.
: showing or causing feelings of pleasure and enjoyment.
:pleased or glad about a particular situation, event, etc.
Take a look at your life. Not the pains or sadness of the past, but the good times and wonderful memories. The day of your High School or College graduation. True love. Your wedding day. The birth of your child/children. The anticipation of Christmas on Christmas Eve as a child, or as an adult. Holidays with family and/or friends. Watching your kids laugh, learn and play. The embrace, laughter and smiles of your spouse or girlfriend/boyfriend. The job promotion, new job, or the obtaining the career you always wanted. The bonus, or victory of a large sale, or big raise. The victories of your favorite sports team. The wedding of your child or children. Finding out your test for cancer was negative.
Each of us have a lot to be happy about. I am confident each of us can count our blessings and begin naming them. List them down. Post them on your refrigerator. Recall them and be thankful for them. We all have things to be thankful for. No matter how bad things may seem, there is hope.
There are also times of sadness. They will inevitably come. Sometimes these valleys can last for days.
