From my experience of 60 plus years living on this earth, I have discovered that true joy and happiness comes from within no matter what is happening externally and void of any other living being or physical object.
For me, making a list of things may infer that I would not be happy without them implying emotional dependency on people and things. Not true probably for most of us. Grateful for all that I have and who’s in my life but my happiness isn’t dependent upon it.
Seeing a beautiful sunset or sunrise, listening to the sound of the rain and even a child’s laughter are priceless or feeling loved enriches my life but I am not dependent on them for my happiness.
Happiness is a choice.
Yours Truly,
Leslie Elizabeth David.
