Happiness is a state of mind.








Happiness isn’t the absence of tears and pain in one’s life. To say so is hypocrisy and denial of the truth. Happiness begins in knowing what you don’t have, can’t have and will never have. What has began and what has ended. Its facing reality and finding a reason to go on. It’s noticing and appreciating the smell of rain after a prolonged dry spell. The scent of clean linen after a hard chore. Seeing wild flowers in the middle of wilderness. Seeing color when everything else is in black and white. You find beauty in the midst of ugliness and you smile about it.       ~ maggie
