A measure of Happiness

Despite the outward circumstances of grief and shock, I am generally a happy person - this wasn't always the case, and this measure of happiness explains EXACTLY what has changed in my life...and what can change in yours to allow you to feel happier.

Happiness is not measured by outside circumstances - many wealthy, successful, famous, married people are desperately unhappy, while many poor, 'ordinary', single people are happy. Neither 'condition' is any better for happiness (even though it often seems that the new shoes will make us happier...they don't in the long run!).

The measure of happiness is whether you count what you have, or whether you count what you have not.

Today, count only what you have.
