Thanks Artsoul... I can completely relate to this. I am redifining happiness myself, and find that it is having a meaning similar to the one you hvae found.
Living in the now, accepting, non-judgementally all that the now holds, truly being present for each day and each moment, and for our loved ones....this is how I would love to live the remainder of my life. Embracing all that life holds, the good and not so good, does bring a certain kind of freedom, and I believe without this freedom there is no happiness.
Not the kind of happiness that I seek anyway. Peaceful happiness.
