Happiness is what it is

I sat down to read a book the other day, and for those few moments I was happy.

I went outside to photograph whatever I could find, and for those few moments I was happy.

I made a Thanksgiving pecan pie for my family, and for those few moments I was happy.

I took my daughter to see a movie, and for those few moments I was happy.

 

Happiness

 can not be found

 by dwelling on the could, the would, or the what if.

Happiness is fixating on the now,

 until it drowns out

the madness.
