"When you arise in the morning, think of what a privilege it is to be alive-to breath, to think, to enjoy, to love."
~~Marcus Aurelius

Few days ago, a friend of my mine posted this question on her Facebook status.
"Define happiness.....what makes you happy?"
I answered her with a quote of an unknown author and stated my thoughts about it that goes something like this:
"Let me borrow a line from a quote....Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections" What makes me happy?.......as simple as every breath I take makes me happy. It reminds me that I am still alive and I can watch my children grow, I can offer my help to someone who needs my help, the way I can. I can appreciate even the little things around me. I can watch the sun when it rises and spread its rays into the horizon and when it sinks deeper over the horizon."
How about you? What makes you happy?
Have a nice weekend . God bless.

Wow..what a striking capture- just gorgeous and works perfect in sepia! I like your thoughts Misalyn and I think it is this and when all is gone- age..suffering and what have you- where does our true happiness lie? So I'd have to say the joy found in Him..its with a promise right?

I don't know how the above comment arrived on your blog ! I wasn't here before, lol ! that's really strange.
Your sky is absolutely beautiful and usually little things make me happy, like watching my cats playing, or buying me something not expensive etc.
To be happy means looking at the positive side of a negative thing.
Haha..
