If only...

Nothing stops me. In my pursuit of happiness. Of course, my friend Julie. Takes a different approach to life.  She allows herself to be unhappy. To be depressed. To be disappointed with her lot in life. Oh, Julie has occasional breakthroughs. Spurts of happiness.  Unfortunately, they come and go. Yes, it’s called very temporary happiness. But goes to show. That Julie has the capability of achieving bliss. It’s a matter of sustaining a delightful existence. I’m a master at it.  Julie could learn so much. From me. If only she put her mind and heart to it. --Jim Broede
