All these quotes are my attempt of the day to track down the meaning of happiness, but I suppose more importantly to determine if I am happy. I have no idea. I love the life I have. The best part of my week is being a part of the family that I have found at Jubilee. I think I'm happy. I see the beauty in each new day and thank God for every sunrise that I get to see. I have all that I could ever desire. My life is full of so many blessings.
I just have one question. Is it ethical to give up a part of your happiness because you know it makes someone else happy?
