A mind-set for happiness.

Have you ever lived 10 truly happy days in a row? Ponder an answer to that question. I suspect many people would answer 'no.' And I wonder if that's significant. Do some people find extended happiness to be virtually impossible? That the most they can achieve is two or three consecutive days of true happiness. They aren't calibrated for more than that. I used to find happiness a little bit elusive. I couldn't go more than a few days without being bothered by something disconcerting. But I've learned to find precious moments of happiness almost every day. I have cultivated a mind-set for happiness. Maybe it's because I'm truly in love. With someone. And with life. --Jim Broede
