Happiness

Happiness to me is fulfillment, the satisfaction gained from knowing that you did the best
your honestly evaluated limitationswould permit -- in all phases of living.
Happiness is gratitude for the miracle which granted another go-around
in a life once abandoned.
Happiness is growing up. It is learning to recognize all the things you really have.
Happiness is for experiencing, as well as remembering.

Happiness is part of the journey, not some distant destination.

I thank God and AA for the happiness in my life today!!

Hugs,
Kym

This is very familiar ground for me, especially in the end days of my abuse.
