Happiness

Happiness, for me, comes with moments of peace - those times when you realize things are exactly what they are supposed to be: beautiful.


My faith makes me happy for it is the source, for me, of many such moments. My family makes me happy, because happiness is magnified when you have someone to share it with. And the fragility of happiness makes me happy, because it causes me to realize that each joy is rare enough to be precious.


Enduring happiness comes from realizing, ironically, that happiness itself is fleeting. Moments - including moments of happiness - do pass. But united to God, who is timeless and ageless, we will be able to be bound permanently to every happy moment there has been.
