happiness...


...it's not about getting it right...it's about knowing when something is wrong and doing something about it....

surely, if we start from being happy, its about being aware, and making those small changes as we go along to maintain a (happy) equilibrium with those around us?

or is it more simply about communication?

Well, Ok..but happiness is also about appreciating what is right, celebrating the pieces if that is what we have at hand, and stringing together the actions of a life and handing them over to God. But what do I know? I'm not sure that in today's world happiness is always the goal - sometimes, as the old song goes .."sometimes it's hard just to live."

internal communication maybe...am talking more about people's struggles to live in their own skin, and i agree beginning with being happy and being aware and keeping some kind of equilibrium - have just met too many people who are a long way from happiness...and it's more about meeting them in thier world where happiness is a foreign language...sometimes just surviving is the goal and if happiness comes from that, great

i do think though that it is about communication which might make an impossible journey possible, maybe

sometimes I think all we can do is just be with people in their situations - we can't take them away from whatever they are going through, but we can be there so they don't have to feel so alone and maybe, somehow, we can make it more bearable.

Though that may not be happiness as such - it's different things to different people ....
