Everyone is on their quest to find happiness in life. Some go about it the right way and others go about it the wrong way. Who am I to judge the difference between right and wrong but I think you get the just of what I am saying. Happiness is not something you just stumble upon. You have to be happy within yourself and with yourself before you can be happy with anything else in your life. Some think that love brings happiness...well it does in many ways but that happiness tends to fade in time if you let it. Instead of trying to fix it, most people want to move on to the next best thing, but there really is no next best thing. You are just moving on to the next thing. Will you find happiness? No.
I have had my fair share of life changing events take place over the last 30 years but in the end I have tried to hold my head up high and learn from everything I have encountered. My happiness comes from my son...my family...my friends...having a roof over my head and food on the table...being healthy...being alive...listening to thunderstorms wrapped up in a blanket...being in love. I have also dealt with things that took happiness out of my life...I lost my Mom...got divorced...went through a major layoff with a company I worked for...had surgery...lost the love of my life...dealt with heartache.
I look at the lives of people around me and it makes me thankful every day for what I have in my life. I am still on the pursuit of my happiness...the one thing I am missing is the person I am going to love and spend the rest of my life with. Once that happens, my journey will finally be complete.
