It is a self reliant/self supporting happiness. I looked for it for years only to find that it had been near me the whole bloody time.

I haven't looked at that list in a loooong time (which I'm grateful for, as I've not suffered depression like that since) but I can remember the first thing on the list- the chortling of a Magpie. There's nothing quite like it to ground you & make you realise how something so simply can be so calming :) I do wonder what my 6 year old would put on her list tho......happyhoveanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315813441386653699.post-74717633445173778292013-12-02T15:34:13.021+11:002013-12-02T15:34:13.021+11:00I love what Oscar loves about happiness!

There is no 'virtual' happiness, plenty of 'this should make me happy but...' All I know is when you are happy you are happy and when something makes you feel 'happy' you are. That's why we should stop looking for it and just be it. Kids get it.Matt Martinonoreply@blogger.com
