today's moment...

April 21...

Happiness is as close as my willingness to discover it.

We are continually fooled in this life by the superficial feelings that come when we obtain material possessions. Many of us truly believe that the new car or house we buy will bring us lasting happiness. There are many things that bring us that false pretense of elation. Gamblers know it all too well—the excitement of winning that one jack pot that will make everything okay. They also know the flip side of that feeling—desperation and despair.

Moment by moment, I will remember that happiness that lasts will never be found in things made by man. It is not the house that brings true happiness; true happiness is found in the home that you create within, that you share with those you love.
