“Belief in happiness is not an illusion of youth, as is often assumed, but the experience of a force that grows and triumphs over reality. The more our feeble hope is flung and broken against the deceptions of life, the more surely will it rise powerful and transformed.”
—Jeanne de Vietinghoff, The Understanding of Good

That is a might powerful thought! At this stage of my life I find that I need to use various tools, on certain days more than on others, to access the gift of happy energy.
ReplyDeleteSame here. I'm glad that with maturity (age) comes more ability to access happiness, and even know what will make me feel happier.
DeleteKathy there is much to meditate on this quote. Happiness means so many different things to each of us. Thank you for always sharing good things. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThere are so many forms and types of happiness...getting older has helped me realize that happiness ebbs and flows, as well as distinguish deeper forms of happiness from lighter, more temporary ones. Hope your weekend is full of all types of happiness!
