IT'S A CONUNDRUM

    I can move myself to the perfect location, buy new things, and find the perfect relationship and for a while I am happy. But sooner or later the place, the things and the people lose their luster and newness and the happiness disappears. The reason? Because happiness comes from within. It's almost a DUH statement. Except for some reason I often forget it. But when I remember, I create an attitude of gratitude and appreciation for what is happening with me in that moment. This produces the internal happiness that cannot be swayed by outside circumstances. And amazingly, when I'm happy, more wonderful places, things and people become a part of my existence. It's a conundrum.
