Happiness has been a habit I've tried to cultivate in my life. Right up there next to gratitude. Lots of the time life is really shitty. It's easy to wallow in that if you're not careful. It's in my best interest not to wallow in the shit.

I don't think any body is truly happy.
but we each make our own happiness.
myself I am a very simple uncomplicted man.
each and every day that I wake up to see another day of life I am happy.
we humans take life for granted.

I donno about happy but I am pretty content with life at the moment. It was a bit of a rough couple months but managed to land on my feet better than expected so that's pretty sweet. Is life perfect? Probably not but I go to sleep and rest fairly easy at night.

I'm not truly happy and I accept that I may never be.
I accept life, on life's terms, which aren't always pretty, pleasant, or joyous.
they just ARE.
I AM, however, grateful, and I hold my life as sacred... squeezing as much joy, love, contentment, beauty, goodness, pleasure, and all other positive things from each moment I have in this life... in the end, it's a great deal more than my son was fortunate to get.
