Happiness

 Happiness

I suppose happiness is the  most sought after state of mind that we desire.  Perhaps we visualize this as a state where we are totally free of conflict and hardship.  But maybe happiness is tied up with our struggles, as well.

Sometimes our happiness is linked to a common event where all is well.  But other times it comes with struggle through a challenging time.  The knowledge, that when we pass through those challenging times building stronger ties and closer bonds to family and friends, is really the true foundation of happiness.
