What’s happiness?
I have come to a crossroad in my life recently and have had to make some difficult decisions for my future. While it doesn’t feel good right now, I believe soon, I will experience a wealth of joy…even though it hasn’t been entirely easy to come to this point. But life has a lot of little moments to point us in the direction of knowing what happiness really is.
Like a smile on my daughter’s face…

There are plenty of other things that point us toward the meaning of happiness. But, the greatest thing about happiness to me is that, while all these things put a smile on my face-as they should-true happiness comes from within. And when it does, even though you may have hard times, there’s nothing that can take it away.
